Like I said it the bug report.  I've set it to Right Alt but it
still acts like a Left Alt.

In fact, the setting never had any effect.  When I originally set
it to "default", it kept working like a right alt while it really
should have been working like a left alt.

No it didn't.  Please look at what is in my config file in the
bug report.

And I said what is in that file, and it has ralt_switch in it.

Please carefully read my bug report.  If you don't understand it,
please don't close it but ask questions instead.
