that makes it go away!
this is what xev prints for a C-p on my x server
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0x217, subw 0x0, time 16366578, (702,581), root:(707,632),
state 0x16, keycode 33 (keysym 0x50, P), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (10) "\x10"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (10) "\x10"
XFilterEvent returns: False
0x16 = Button1Mask | LockMask | ControlMask
so it's my broken xmodmap thats causeing the probem, not emacs.
sorry for the false bug, and thanks for the help
