So maybe the answer is that Left-Control+Left-Alt and 
Right-Control+Right-Alt should each be interpreted as Control+Alt. 
Someone deliberately trying to enter Control+Alt+some-other-key is not 
likely to use different hands for Control and Alt.

I assume you have a German keyboard and could test whether my suggestion 
is consistent with the behavior of linux and xterm.
