Somehow, when I start XDarwin, the option keys function like control.
But only in the sense that I can do commandline editing with them (in rxvt); emacs doesn't understand them.
Now, I have a settings file for xmodmap that flips option / control, and after that the option keys *are* properly understood by emacs.
Can someone explain that? Here's what the console log shows on start of xdarwin:
XFree86 Version 4.3.99.16 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 20 November 2003
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Darwin Apple Computer, Inc.
Could not find keymapping file USA.keymapping.
Reading keymap from the system.
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
