Maybe, but Emacs/GTK is the only GTK application on my system in which I observe the problem. For instance Mozilla and gnome-terminal distinguish the Meta and Alt keys. KC> What does 'xmodmap -p' show % xmodmap -p xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x42) mod1 Alt_L (0x73), Alt_R (0x74) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d), Super_L (0x75) mod3 Hyper_L (0x25), Hyper_R (0x6d) mod4 Meta_L (0x40), Meta_R (0x71) mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x4e) KC> and what does 'xev' show when you press alt/ meta? What I expect: Meta_L for Meta and Alt_L for Alt. Don't forget, Emacs/Athena works well. Regards, Milan Zamazal -- Free software is about freedom, not about free beer.
