[arch-general] Does anyone find Compiz Fuscion eat up all Alt keys?

[yueyu lin]

I'm sure no other shortcuts besides compiz's own definitions work.
I also try your way. Unfortunately it proves my conclusion too. Compiz eats
up the alt. When I press "Alt+e", nothing happens. When I disable compiz and
try it again, I can get "^[e" while pressing "Alt+e".
