Subject: xlibs: Alt_L is seen like a normal key instead a modifier [it]

Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal

When I try to use gnome task switcher or gnome-keybinding-properties
configuring a alt-somekey shortcut, alt as seen as one-pressing key and
doesn't permit to generate the shortcut (each alt-tab or alt-somekey)

on pressing the left alt, xev says:

KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
    root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 6228727, (463,202), root:(467,271),
    state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
    root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 6228827, (463,202), root:(467,271),
    state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

Cheers,
Monari Emanuele.
