I haven't set it.  It's however it was defined by default.

I should have peeked a bit more closely, though.  I rarely use <Alt>, so I
didn't think much about it.  I just realized (testing in an XTerm) that
<Alt> seems to be really gone.  I just assumed that it was something odd
about EMACS that was ignoring the <Alt> key.  It's interesting that the
text console seems to handle <Alt> normally, though EMACS still doesn't
use it as a <Meta>, even there.

Thanks for the information about Xmodmap.  Maybe I should sit down and
think hard about how I believe my keyboard should work.  (^&
