xorg and meta key under Emacs

[Alex Viskovatoff]

Gérard,

Using the current CVS snapshot of Emacs fixes the meta key problem with
the new xorg-X11 release for me, too.

Incidentally, when compiling Emacs, I used the gtk x-toolkit option,
instead of the default Xaw3d option the Fedora Emacs package uses. I
don't know why Fedora doesn't use the gtk option, given that gtk2 is
more or less standard on Red Hat systems, and it looks better than
Xaw3d.
