They do -- Alt is used to access menus or some commands.
But you pointed me to the right direction. The problem was in running
Emacs from a gnome-terminal, when I have the Alt/Meta keys swapped.
Sometimes, Emacs got the modifiers of the swapped keyboard before it was
disabled by the window manager. And since Emacs never forgets key
modifier settings, both Meta and Alt modifier was assigned to the keys
as a result. Sigh.
I am sorry.
