Here's one -- I was going to post it in gnu.emacs.help, but you changed my mind! Emacs running in X honors Alt as its Meta key. But if I launch 'emacs -nw' to avoid running in X that understanding (Meta == Alt) evaporates. Perhaps I need to set something specific in my .emacs for the minibuffer? I've got amd64 Jessie running without systemd and icewm for X. This sounds something like the fellow who told his doctor, "It hurts when I do this." And the doctor replied, "So don't do that!"
