           Summary: alt key doesn't work in konsole
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: colohan+kde at cs.cmu.edu


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3 
OS:          Linux

If I open a shell in the konsole window, the alt-key does not appear 
to work.  In particular, under tcsh, if I hit alt-f or alt-b to move
between words an "f" or a "b" is inserted into my command line instead
of moving the cursor.

If I run the same shell under xterm then it works fine, leading me to
believe that konsole is somehow trapping and filtering the alt-key
from events going through konsole.  This works fine in previous
versions of KDE (ie, 3.0 and earlier).
