Dead key and mode shift key behaviour

The attachment is a question from the cygwin-xfree list which
appears to be more appropriate for this list.
I wanted to add another question to it:
I noticed when working with the right Alt key as a mode-shift
key that it matters whether Shift is pressed after or before
the right Alt-key. In order to get the correct behaviour, I
have to press the Alt key first, then the Shift key. The
other way round leads to the Alt key getting ignored. This is
different from how the keys behave under Windows. Is this
intentional or is it a bug?
Cheers
Stefan

Thats beyond my knowledge. This is a topic for the real xfree86
