Key binding problem

[David Hedbor <david hedbor org>]

I just recently upgraded from GTK 1.0.4 to 1.0.6 and quickly noticed
a bug (or at least a for me unwanted change in behavior). I search
through the list archive briefly and found nothing related.

Since upgrading, M-b (normally backward-word) goes to the beginning of 
the line (same as C-a) and M-f (forward-word) to the end of the
line.

Is this a known problem, and if so, is there a patch? It's mightly
annoying when I type M-b C-k which I often do to delete a word.
