Yes, I have the "windows" key on my keyboard. What would I have to
write in my .emacs in order to use the "windows" key in the same
meaning as the "Alt" key ? That is I want the "alt" key and the
"windows" key to have both the same meaning in emacs, namely "Meta".

However, in comp.windows.x.kde nobody answers to my question about how
to change KDE keybindings. Hence I'd be happy about an solution in
emacs...
