Mandrake does the following weird thing in its XEmacs src RPM
(from
http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta/200009/msg00048.html):
Subject: Anybody know the author of the Mandrake RPMs for XEmacs?
They are very bad, BAD people. XEmacs/GTK was handling alt/meta
differently than their version, but the same as a 'real' build from
pristine XEmacs 21.1.12 sources. Sooo, the user found this little patch in
the mandrake source RPM:
--- xemacs-21.1.9/src/events-mod.h.chmou Sun Nov 9 08:07:51 1997
+++ xemacs-21.1.9/src/events-mod.h Fri Mar 24 14:21:24 2000

There really is no good reason to confuse the definition of ALT with
the definition of Meta. Please explain why you are mangling XEmacs in
this way.
There is a current thread on xemacs-beta about this. See
