Mx outputs captial o with slash?

Mx outputs captial o with slash?

[seth]

My emacs seems to have gone a bit odd lately.  When I type M-x, it
outputs an o with a slash through it.  This prevents me from entering
extended commands.

Any ideas what could have caused this?  This is on a ubuntu 7.10.  I
tried removing my .Xresources and .inputrc files but it still happens.

Thanks in advance.

Are you running it in some terminal emulation (which one?) or freely,  
as an X client?

This only happens in xterm actually.  aterm and rxvt are fine.  Emacs
X client is fine.

I tried messing with my Xresources and inputrc but to no avail.

X resources is a good start! There are settings for 8 bit control  
characters (eightBitControl) and Meta sends Escape (metaSendsEscape).  
The former should be false by default and the latter true by non- 
default. Both can also be set in the pop-up menu "Main Options" on C- 
mouse-1.

Most excellent.

With your tip, I found this:
<http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/MetaKeyProblems#toc15>
and those modifications seem to have fixed the problem after a logout/
login.

Thank you!
