OK. I had the behavior you wanted, so all the stuff I said was about getting
you what you have.

Try this .Xmodmap:
! Rebind keys to permit Apple logo key to be Meta in Emacs.
clear mod1
clear mod4
keycode 115 = Super_L
keycode 116 = Super_R
keycode 64 = Alt_L
keycode 113 = Alt_R
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
add mod4 = Meta_L Meta_R Super_L Super_R
Try this from :1.
