Applications such as GIMP used to use this modifier key long before some
window managers started to grab it for their purpose.

It usually helps to press Shift together with Alt if you want the Alt
key to end up being seen by the application.

Anyway, there is no action in GIMP that absolutely requires use of the
Alt modifier. So if you can't change your window manager key-bindings
and Shift-Alt doesn't work, you should still be able to use all
functionality.
