When you say "meta-key" do you mean "escape" or "extend char" or do you
really have a "meta-key" on your keyboard.  (I don't.)

I use emacs under X with the "escape" key and have no problems.  I am using
emacs 19.25 compiled with X.  I run emacs with it's own X window, and in a
xterm.  In both cases, no probs.  I don't use "extend char" under emacs so
I can't say about that.

But, if I run xev, I see the correct keysym names for:
	KEY				Keysym Name (from xev)
	---				----------------------
	escape				escape
	Extend char (on left)		Meta_L
	Extend char (on right)		Meta_R

I also use the "extend char"s with my window manager with no problems.
