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. Jan D.
