 Due to certain details WRT key grabbing under X11, it's not possible to say 
'no other key was pressed'. This is what makes it different from MS Windows, 
where it probably is possible to implement that feature correctly (actually I 
right now got an idea how it might be possible to workaround, I'll add it in 
my TODO, but I'm not that sure  - I mean fixing the alt menu selecting, I 
don't feel like bothering with making the modifier work both as a normal key 
and as a modifier).
