Well, I think technically XEmacs is right, it's just that no other programs care. Somewhere in some manual it says to make alt generate meta in a way that produces this problem (I'm assuming you have a PC and not a Sparc or something with a real Meta key). I don't understand it fully, personally. But you can make the error go away with something like this to Xmodmap: ! Alt = Meta keycode 0x40 = Meta_L keycode 0x71 = Meta_R clear Mod1 clear Mod4 add Mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R There may be a better way, I don't get along with Xmodmap too well.
