Have you tried disabling both "Follow system keyboard layout" and
"Enable key equivalents under X11" in the Preference settings?

yes, both these are disabled but I still cant get Alt-Left activated as the Meta key.
my ~/.xinitrc has the line:


if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap




This one belongs in the FAQ tile! I asked a similar question in comp.sys.mac.apps a week or so ago and have posted this answer to this list before as well:

The "Follow system keyboard layout" preference in the X11 prefs is on by default -- and somehow undoes the xmodmap after it's run. Turn it off and the problem goes away.
