I don't see, either. Just running my build against the resource file works okay, so it's not _there_. Also, I built an xterm using the options
from the Debian package, and it still seems to work.But in the past couple of weeks, I've been installing a new machine, and noticed -on a couple of other Linux's- that there's some breakage in luit which may be related (if you didn't happen to have the Latin-1 locale installed, for instance).
Another thought - depends on what your meta key is. I've gotten two recent reports which deal with a change I made a few years ago, to suppress use of the meta (or alt) key by xterm if they appear in a translations resource. A quick check seems to show the last change there in mid-2008 (patch #238).
If it's not that, then it might help to know the older (good) version of xterm. It looks like about a year since I made any interesting changes to the input.c file, which would be where this is implemented.
(generally when I'm down to this point, it also helps to get a debug trace).
