Interesting. Hrrrmmm...so perhaps I can set up Alt as Meta in the configuration 
of the terminal I use in X?

There should be a keyboard setup arrangement somewhere on your system--there is 
in at least some other distros. Then you pick

a key that you want to use as a Compose key, which I _believe_ is the same 
thing as a meta key.  (I don't have Windows keys on my

old IBM keyboards, so I always choose right-alt. If I had Windows keys, I would 
choose right-Win.)
