Bug Description

I noticed that I can't press ALT + another key in some apps and games any more, this is quite anoying, and it seems to be because the HUD binds this key... While the Super key (or Windows key) is fair game IMO, it seems that ALT is used in too many places for this to be a sensible choice of key.

I can see that Alt+whatever combinations still work as expected. Do you mean just the "alt" key or "alt+X" combinations?

That's actually interesting, because I can verify that at least the native application which I tested does still work, but it no-longer works in games running under Wine...

Disabling the HUD in CCSM does restore the expected behaviour BTW...
