This is what MacOSX does.
As far as I know, Windows doesn't make difference between Alt and AltGr unless a key containg third lever characters is pressed.
Do you need "normal" Alt for anything on Linux? Can one access shortcuts (Alt+F for File menu) etc. if the behaviour is modified?
I can speak only for myself, but it's much more important to be able to type normal text (third level characters) and worrying about the shortcuts comes later. Typing a simple email (needs third level @ character) is not possible on international Macbook and default settings.
Maybe Left AltGr behaviour could be made default for international Macbook layouts and US would preserve the current default behaviour?
