Paul Seelig already mentioned xkeycaps. Perhaps this is what you were looking for, but if your problem is that Meta-Mouse buttons (used for secondary selection -- a very important emacs feature allowing selection of text without moving point) no longer work, it may be due to this insidious line which crept into bo's /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc: Mouse 0 W M move-and-raise-or-raiselower I override it with these lines in my ~/.fvwm2/post.hook: # Allow Meta-mouse events to pass on to the clients. This is # especially important for emacs with secondary selection. Mouse 0 W M - I have been meaning to check and see if a bug report has been filed on this yet.
