Bernhard> Any help appreciated since I would be glad to avoid the Bernhard> mouse as much as possible My best bet is that the key you are using on the two machines is sending different key codes. On each machine run "xev" (from an xterm so you can see its output). Put your mouse pointer in the little white box that pops up and press the alt/meta key you are expecting to be the same. Look at the xterm for the output from xev. Compare and contrast.
