I wouldn't worry about this. I have no problem at all with using the W95
logo key, sonce it gives me more keymapping possibilities. But if you
really want to use alt instead, edit your ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker
file and change all references to Meta with Alt and you will get what I
think you expect.

This screwed me up as well. xmkmf insists on creating a Makefile that uses
c++ to compile and gcc to link, which won't work. This happenned to me
even when egcs wasn't installed. I simply ran the second command (the gcc
one) with c++ instead, ie. c++ -o wmmixer -O2 -fno-strength-reduce etc...
and it compiled find.
Another option would be to download the debian packages for these. :)
