Subject: Understanding how emacs sets up input

Hi,
I'm trying to resolve a bug I have with emacs on Ubuntu
(https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26104) where pressing the
Alt key alone produces a 'switch-frame' command, messing up commands
like 'yank-pop' or 'dabbrev-expand'. I'm trying to figure out how emacs
gets commands from xwindows.
One thing I noticed is that xev (e.g., if I type 'xev -id ...') does not
catch most emacs keys (e.g. alphanumeric keys, Ctrl, TAB, shift) but it
does catch the Alt key. Can someone explain why that is and where emacs
sets that up (I realize it is likely in the C code)?
