>Description:
	After the update of gtk20, alt key is not working in gnome-terminal.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
        Run an application that uses alt keys - such as irssi in a
	gnome-terminal where alt keys used to work, update gtk20 now they don't.
	
>Fix:
	After rebuild various ports and then some online searching, I found
	this:

	https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/7768/after-update-to-gtk2-2248-2-meta-and-alt-keys-no-longer-works/

	Where it appears this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663779

	suggests that updating vte is needed to restore alt key usage.  The
	discussions refer to a patched 0.28.2. (not sure what the patch is yet.)

	Which is probably necessary because that's the last version that
	supports GTK2 and the fix for #663779 is in 0.32.2.
