Ok. Probably you have not truly understood me (or a you).
well..

$ xev | grep Alt_L
    state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, ##
In US layout
    state 0x2000, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
## In Russian layout
As I see they differ only state. Keysum and keycode do not differ.

In sawfish key grab is Alt_L+Tab:
In US layout: M-TAB
In Russian layout: M-Button-6-TAB

In my opinion Alt should have same value (as in some other WM/DE).
