Meta-keystrokes are ignored by xterm from debian unstable. They work

pleases you.
That's all I can say. If you have questions, please ask.

Well, #260232 was closed a few months ago, and it looks like #215034 should
be:
Meta-keystrokes are ignored by xterm from debian unstable. They work
with current xterm patch (179).
Debian unstable has had a version of XTerm more recent than #179 since
4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 (16 Jun 2004) at the latest, and possibly as far back as
4.3.0.dfsg.1-2 (25 May 2004).
I am therefore closing #215034. If the problem persists, it's likely
caused by something else.

I'm not sure I quite understand you here, but I do not that I am very
confused by the current report if two similar reports were already fixed.
