Being in the US and not needing AltGr I often modify the kernel key table so that left and right alt keys are the same (Alt). This is easily done (look at /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map and "man loadkeys"). You can also do this without modifying the kernel my just using loadkeys to load a new keymap.
Take it easy, Ken Jordan
P.S. You could also map ctrl-alt-delete to any other key combo you wanted.
