Normally, a X application use the key which has KeySym Meta_L or
Meta_R as Meta and the key, which has KeySym Alt_L or Alt_R as Alt,
independent of the uses modifier bit. Lots of people map Alt to Meta
in there XF86Config, because Meta is Shift-Alt by default and many
programs use Meta not Alt as modifier, therefore Meta get mod1 there.
On Keyboard with 104 or 105 Caps you can use the Windows-Key to
separate Meta from Alt. I know many people who use Alt for the whole
windowmanager stuff and private shortcuts and Meta for the "normal"
programs to do not get a conflict. On XFree86 configuration for
104/105 keys PC-keyboards, Meta get mod 4 and Alt get mod 1.

I don't know anything about c at the moment. :-(
If anybody taught me programming c, I would do it ;-)
