I still fondly remember the day when I, used to Sun keyboards which have separate Meta and Alt keys, came to a PC running Unixware and olvwm. I typed a news posting and then I hit M-q. Emacs disappeared. So I typed the news posting again and then hit C-h k M-q to figure out why did Emacs disappear. Emacs disappeared. Yes, but conflicts with window managers are difficult to avoid. I believe that a good window manager should make rebinding keys convenient. I rebound many of the standard sawfish bindings from Meta to Super to avoid conflicts with Emacs. I know how to disable the X command C-M-backspace (which I do not want to do), but somehow, I do not know how to rebind it (to something much more difficult to hit by accident). Sincerely, Luc.
