I tried it.

I noticed, thanks very much. Luckily I managed to undo the damage
without logging out.

The reason is the Greek keyboard doesn't have an RAlt. Solution:

   $ setxkbmap -layout "us,gr" -option "grp:lalt_rshift_toggle"


The problem with xkbmap is that I don't know how to specify a new
keyboard map as a regular user. I know how to do that with .Xmodmap.
