Good day,

I have the following problem, which I have already posted under http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289709.

I use my .emacs file to set some key bindings:

(global-set-key [M-delete] 'kill-word)
(global-set-key [M-backspace] 'backward-kill-word)

This works as expected if I start emacs from the command line.  However,
if I use the emacs-daemon, then these keys are not set correctly: In fact, they are switched (which seems to be the standard behaviour if I put nothing into .emacs at all).

A workaround is: Start emacs after the daemon has loaded, open .emacs and execute these two lines by hand.

This also happens if I start the emacs daemon after initializing X (so in particular it should have nothing to do with xmodmap).

I used to have this problem before with different keys, namely the buttons XF86Back and XF86Forward on my ThinkPad laptop, which used to be mapped to F19 and F20 some xorg-server-versions before.

Regards,

Johannes
