Bug#352131: This should (must?) be worked around

Since the bug against xkbcomp has been open for six months without any
progress, I think gnome-settings-daemon should be fixed so that it never
sets the 'grp:alts_toggle' option.
From a user's point of view the option is broken anyway; perhaps worse
than broken, since setting it triggers a number of harmful effects, the
least damaging of which is that their Gnome session becomes unusable for
about a minute while gnome-settings-daemon is repeatedly started, killed
and restarted until gnome-session gives up and they are left with the
default and extremely ugly GTK theme and no icons, _every time they log
in_; and since the harmful option is often set without the user
explicitly setting it in the first place.
