Title:
  Alt/Meta escape keys no longer work

Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The latest version of VTE in Maverick broke alt/meta escape keys. The
  terminal no longer recongnizes when left alt is being held down and
  right alt only allows for the file menus to be called up. The actual
  terminal just passes whatever combo key was pressed with the alt
  combo.

  As far as I can tell, nothing is wrong with the keyboard or alt,
  because the alt key still works in all other programs, such as compiz
  and openoffice.

  The reason I believe this a flaw in VTE, is because it only affects
  libvte based terminals, such as: gnome-terminal, terminator, and
  xfce4-terminal. Xterm and Aterm still work with alt/meta.
