When I press Alt-x in an emacs window run from and xterm (emacs -nw)
the is bound to M-8- . However Alt-x is bound to M-x as it should
be for emacs running in its own window. 

I am using fvwm in Debian/Etch. 

My xorg.conf keyboard configuration is 

       Option          "CoreKeyboard"
       Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
       Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
       Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"

Would be grateful if you could give me a pointer on what
may be causing this problem and how to fix it.

sincerely
b thomas
