Binary package hint: unity

I'm running Unity on my MacBook Pro 1,1, however the default keybindings
of putting Alt on Option and Super on Apple/Clover don't work for me.  I
swap them with a ~/.xmodmaprc file (which I will attach).  This works
fine for tools like the application switcher and emacs, and even unity's
dock can be summoned with Super (on the alt/option key).

However, traditional Alt-<key> menu shortcuts are broken.  As an
example, when in the Terminal, hitting Alt-1 or Alt-2 to switch between
tabs does not work.  As soon as I hold down the Alt (on the apple/clover
key), the cursor goes hollow but then tapping 1 or 2 does nothing.  It
does not switch tabs.
