My keyboard section in my XF86Config is this and the left and right
window keys default to Meta_L and Meta_R resp.  It also set the menu
key Menu which can be bound in some apps like Xemacs which defaults the
menu key to `popup-mode-menu'.  Also in Xemacs I see that the alt keys
produce A- .

Section "Keyboard"
    Protocol    "Standard"
    AutoRepeat  500 5
    XkbKeymap   "xfree86(us_microsoft)"
EndSection

Hope this helps,
