Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Using Jaunty alpha 4, updating packages daily.
I use irssi a lot, using gnome-terminal. By default irssi uses Alt+num to change windows, gnome-terminal uses Alt+num to change tabs. When multiple tabs are open, Alt+num keypress is catched by gnome-terminal, so I decided to bind tab keys differently:
Alt-Shift-1 -> Tab 1
Alt-Shift-2 -> Tab 2
etc.
The keypresses function just fine, but they are displayed like this:
Alt-Shift-1 -> Alt-!
Alt-Shift-2 -> Alt-@
etc. (depends on keymap used)
This behavious is, in my opinion, wrong.
See screenshot (Finnish keymap used).

thanks for the report, why is it wrong? same issue happens if you press Alt+Shift+ F for example you'll get a capital F instead of a normal one because shift key is pressed, and yes the key works as expected because is emiting the ! key press. I don't think this is a bug.
