Arrrgggh! The problem is even more insidious. The X11 "application" is trapping some command-key combinations for its own menus. Unfortunately, one of those is CMD-x (for Edit>Cut). Again, I appeal to those in the know -- is there a way I can convince Fink's Emacs to use the 'Option' key instead of the Command key for Meta?
