Yes, thank you, I no longer can reproduce the problem where the first use of Alt, Meta, etc. per login session is ignored. I do still have the problem where in an xterm (but not an Emacs window) I have to press Alt+Windows to get the effect of Alt. Because nobody else appears to be having this latter problem (I got no response about it on Debian-user), I'm thinking I might just purge all X packages and reinstall them to see if it goes away. I don't know of any way my setup is nonstandard, but obviously not everyone is having the problem. If you'd rather I didn't purge/binge, let me know. --Pete
