Since changing X-Servers on MacOSX to the Apple X11 server, I find that the Apple Option key, which generates keycode 66 (Alt-L) in xev, is bound to various menu functions in LyX. Option-e gives me the edit menu, Option-v the view menu, etc. I would like to free the Option key up so I can use it to generate foreign characters -- it is the <compose> key in MacOSX. This worked with a different X-server (XDarwin) on MacOSX.

The only X11 keymapping change I've made is to use xmodmap to

clear mod1
add mod1 = Meta_L

which allows me to use the Apple Command key as a Meta key in Lyx.

Is there a way to unbind the Option (Alt_L) key so it will again work with the default Apple key-mapping? Thanks.
