I have the i3 window manager coming up now when I start XQuartz; however, the meta keypress isn't making it through to the window manager. If I use Command as the meta key in the config or if I use Alt (Option), I get the same results.

Linux X11 assigns the Win/Command key as modifier 4; XQuartz puts it on modifier 2 (which on Linux is Num Lock). I think you can use Xkb or xmodmap to alter this if necessary.

As for Alt, you need to look at "Option keys send Alt_L and Alt_R" in Preferences > Input. That should put them on mod5, same as Linux.

You should probably *disable* "Enable key equivalents" so things like Command-C are not "eaten" by XQuartz.
