Comment 10 for bug 167290

Running OS X 10.4.6 (Tiger) and Apple's X11 1.1 - Xfree86 4.4.0 I see a
few
problems.
I have "Enable keyboard shortcuts under X11" turned off. (This is
annotated
with "If you select this option, using keyboard shortcuts for menu
commands
may interfere with X11 applications that use the Meta modifier")

For me, the Apple/Command key is mapped to be Meta (defaults, no
tweaking on my part). If I hold Apple, I get the "Alt" message in the
status bar,
but niether Apple-click, alt-click nor option-click gets me select under
(with
alt-click being shift-option-click actually).

Apple-d switches to the eyedropper tool

option-d creates a clone

shift-option-d unlinks a clone.

So it appears to me that there's probably some confusion in the code from

the Meta key getting mapped to Alt on Linux, and things not properly
taking
into account that those might not be the same on other keyboards. With it

showing up in later versions of OS X, there's a better likelyhood that
it's OS X
getting more precise with it's behavior.
