I use the "Windows" key for windowmanager functions, and the "Alt" key as Meta in emacs. If KDE doesn't allow you to change key bindings, perhaps some jiggery-pokery in .emacs and/or with xmodmap would allow the change in emacs. (Assuming you have a such a key available). -- Benjamin Lewis On a paper submitted by a physicist colleague: "This isn't right. This isn't even wrong." -- Wolfgang Pauli
