Depends on how you assign it.  On my keyboard I have bound it to
Multi_key, which is used to trigger the compose feature of the X server.
Ie, I can type R-Alt a e to get the æ character.  This feature is
completely transparent to the application.

Another option for the R-Alt key is to use it as the Level3 shift
("AltGr").
