On my gvim (with GTK2/Gnome2 GUI, running on openSUSE with Gnome
window-manager) hitting Alt-Space triggers the same menu as clicking the
icon at top left of the Vim "screen", i.e., the one with Minimize /
Unmaximize / Move / Resize // [ ] Always on Top / ( ) Always on Visible
Workspace / (*) Only on This Workspace / Move to Workspace Left / Move
to Workspace Right / Move to Workspace Up / Move to Workspace Down /
Move to Another Workspace // Close

This happens even with 'winaltkeys' set to "no", i.e., it appears that
the window manager grabs the Alt-Space keystroke before gvim has a
chance to see it. It happens the same way in any program dispaying
through X11 (when done in a konsole window, it triggers the menu for
moving or resizing the konsole window itself, and neither konsole nor
the console application [bash or vim or whatever] running in it see the
keystroke).

If I try Alt+Space in Console Vim running in the Linux console (e.g.
after hitting Ctrl-Alt-Fn where 1 <= n <= 6, and if necessary logging in
with username and password -- Ctrl-Alt-F7 would go back to X11 if
started), Alt-Space gives me Esc followed by Space.

Best regards,
Tony.
