Thanks very much, this looks great!  I'll fiddle with it slightly on my 
setup so both alt and meta are on 115 and 116.

Can we suggest that to Branden for (commented) inclusion in 
/etc/X11/Xmodmap (or have you done so already)?

That's very odd.  ~/.Xmodmap still seems to work, are you saying 
/etc/X11/Xmodmap will no longer be used?  Bummer!

Thanks again,
