Yes, thank you, I no longer can reproduce the problem where the first
use of Alt, Meta, etc. per login session is ignored.

I do still have the problem where in an xterm (but not an Emacs
window) I have to press Alt+Windows to get the effect of Alt.

Because nobody else appears to be having this latter problem (I got no
response about it on Debian-user), I'm thinking I might just purge all
X packages and reinstall them to see if it goes away.  I don't know of
any way my setup is nonstandard, but obviously not everyone is having
the problem.

If you'd rather I didn't purge/binge, let me know.
