Aiehgh. I've been Linuxed again. >If you want "meta" to be a separate key you can change the keyboard >layout using xmodmap or edit the source code appropriately.

Yeah, kinda. xmodmap -e 'keycode 64 = Meta_L' allows me to use one key as the Meta key -- only, it's the wrong key. I unassigned both Alt_L and Meta_L, and running xev the X server will reassign keys 252 and 253 to Meta_L and Alt_L. Oddly, even if I switch them, well, I can NEVER make the Meta key be the Meta key (the keycap on the key the X server wants to call the meta key has the word 'alt' on it. . . Sigh. Anyway, yes, un-assigning Alt_L from the key resolves the issue. Thanks for the help!
