gdk: exclude MOD1 from the virtual modifier mapping which effectively nails down the MOD1 == ALT assumption that is valid in all other parts of GTK+. After the modifier abstraction fixes for OSX, the virtual mapping is now (correctly) used in more places, and caused problems with the common default PC keyboard layout on X11 that colocates ALT and META on the same key.
Resolution: RESOLVED FIXED
