I don't think the problem is within xterm (it's been a while since I tweaked the logic for this). More likely something in the keyboard configuration has separated the definitions that you were relying upon. What I do to debug this is to use xev and ensure that it's reporting "Meta_L" for the key. If that's right, I generally compile a debug version of xterm (configure --enable-trace) and check the initialization of the modifiers. I did check over this recently and recall that there was some issue where one could accidentally setup a conflict that would make xterm not do meta. But that also showed up in xmodmap's display. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
