Title:
  Alt stopped working as Meta in gnome-terminal with gtk+3.0
  3.2.2-0ubuntu1

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  Unknown
Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  My Alt key no longer acts as Meta in gnome-terminal on my precise
  system as of today.  So for example in bash, Alt+b no longer moves
  back a word, Alt+Backspace no longer deletes a word, etc.  These
  keystrokes now act as if Alt was not pressed.

  Other libvte-based terminals like xfce4-terminal are not affected.

  I traced this to the upload of gtk+3.0 3.2.2-0ubuntu1.  After
  downgrading libgtk-3-0, libgail-3-0, libgail-3-common, gir1.2-gtk-3.0,
  libgtk-3-bin from 3.2.2-0ubuntu1 to 3.2.0-0ubuntu3 and restarting
  gnome-terminal, the problem goes away.
