The "mouse button" is the trackpad button. "Click" means pressing this button. There is no ~/.Xmodmap. xmodmap says:
Ah. *I* had a ~/.Xmodmap which I forgot about: ! This one switches both alt keys to be alt: keycode 66 = Alt_L keycode 69 = Alt_R clear mod1 add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R That was why you were seeing 0x2000 for alt instead of 0x8 If you look closely, you'll also notice the lack of Mode_switch being released, yet the state doesn't reflect it as down. It looks like in X11 Mode_switch is just never sent with mouse-clicks for some reason, so that's why you weren't seeing it. I wonder why that is...
The side effect in the old way is, of course, that if you press alt-click-a, you get "a" and not "alt-a = å". But who would do this anyway?
Well now with 1.4.2-apple9, you should be getting "å" --Jeremy
