Ok, if the owners in their default operational system assumes Alt key will be
the third level chooser, i think xkeyboard-config needs to emulate the same
behavior and use left Alt key as third level chooser.

Bind Meta (Apple key) to Alt. That fixes all and the behavior will be
the same of OSX as needed.

Well, my idea is different. I think we need to be more like MacBook in
a MacBook -;)

Hmmmm and how we do with keyboard shortcuts that use the same keys as shortcuts?
Like € and Alt+E?
