I think there is something "wrong" in Xorg also. It behaves exactly as
described in the bug report. Andreas, do you have an unmodified Xorg, with
standard xkb maps and no xmodmap settings, and still manage to get Meta on the
"Windows"-key using altwin:meta_win (i.e. assigning Meta to the "Windows"-key)
as an option to xkb?
It is of course possible to get Meta and Alt keys on other keys than the
"Windows"-key. As I read this bug report, it only applies to the "Windows"-key
and only when using altwin:meta_win as an option to xkb. In that case, Emacs
thinks the "Windows"-key sends Hyper-Super-Meta.
