I'm running debian, X 3.3.2 and fvwm2, and using a 104 keyb.
Every so often, my meta key would lose its functionality; I still haven't
determined what causes it. Sometimes I suspect emacs is the culprit, but
it happens elsewhere too. The ALT key is still good for VC switching
purposes, but programs in my X session cease to recognize it as a META
key. The only way I've been able to correct the problem is to exit
and restart X.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I have attempted to fix it with xmodmap, but I haven't gotten any positive
results.
