Just change to the pc102 keymap, which will disable the use of the
Windows keys and put both Alt and Meta on the alt key.

I believe that upstream has reverted to a more reasonable mapping in
later versions, although I can't confirm it yet (I'm on modem right
now, and not following upstream CVS as regularly as I usually do).
