Check your keyboard settings in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. It probably
thinks you have a non-English keyboard, where those keys are dead keys
for typing letters with accents. e.g. if you type 'e, you should get an
e with an acute accent.

It probably thinks you have a pc104 keyboard, where the Windows keys act
as the meta keys. Switch it to pc101.
