Title:
  mac keyboard alt key: 3rd level incompatible with keyboard shortcuts

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS running on Macbook Pro 5,1, dual boot with Mac OS X
  10.5, United Kingdom Macintosh keyboard layout, source package gnome-
  system-tools 2.30.0-0ubuntu2.

  I like using the keyboard shortcuts, e.g. Ctrl + Alt + T to launch the
  terminal. To use the hash key (#) with my keyboard, I go to System ->
  Preferences -> Keyboard, click Options, and select the Alt key as the
  "key to choose 3rd level" so that the hash key is Alt + 3 as it would
  be in Mac OS X. When I enable the 3rd level in this way, keyboard
  shortcuts containing Alt stop working. They start working again as
  soon as I disable the 3rd level.
