There's always this issue about Alt-vs-Meta, so normally xterm converts the Meta modifier into an ESC prefix (via the "metaSendsEscape" which you seem to have set as well). If you don't like to distinguish Meta from Alt, then maybe you should play with xmodmap to turn all your Alt keys into Meta keys or vice-versa. Stefan
