That is so whack. I'm not getting any of the same results you do.

I had another idea. It seems that altwin:meta_win gives you what you want, but
only on display :0.
Run the program `setxkbmap -v 6`; it should show you the list of Xkb mappings
it applies by default (and applies them). I bet the results are different on
:0 and :1. Or by running this on :1, it will set the altwin:meta_win to what
you want. If it shows differences, you can use setxkbmap -option
altwin:meta_win (or something) to set them to the same thing.
If that works, then there's a bug with how XFree handles alternate kemaps on
secondary displays.

Yeah. Anything having to do with low-level access for common desktop needs is
underpowered. Keyboard, mouse, sound, USB. It's coming together, but slowly.
I think the real requirements aren't well defined, so there are a lot of
different solutions. Just look at the list of sound solutions!
