I have exactly the same problem.

Please let me know if you find a solution!

Thanks,
Ovidiu

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

which loads my .Xinitrc file, which I've appended below.I added the line starting 'keycode 66 ..." based on what the X11 FAQ said about activating the Alt-Left key. Ive tried with and without this line, no matter what, the Command key remains Meta!


clear Shift clear Lock clear Control clear Mod1 clear Mod2 clear Mod3 clear Mod4 clear Mod5 keycode 66 = Mode_switch keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L add Shift = Shift_L Shift_R add Control = Control_L add Mod1 = Alt_L add Mod2 = Mode_switch
