Maybe, but Emacs/GTK is the only GTK application on my system in which I
observe the problem.  For instance Mozilla and gnome-terminal
distinguish the Meta and Alt keys.

    KC> What does 'xmodmap -p' show 

  % xmodmap -p
  xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

  shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
  lock      
  control     Control_L (0x42)
  mod1        Alt_L (0x73),  Alt_R (0x74)
  mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d),  Super_L (0x75)
  mod3        Hyper_L (0x25),  Hyper_R (0x6d)
  mod4        Meta_L (0x40),  Meta_R (0x71)
  mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x4e)

    KC> and what does 'xev' show when you press alt/ meta?

What I expect: Meta_L for Meta and Alt_L for Alt.  Don't forget,
Emacs/Athena works well.
