X is binding *both* Alt and Meta to the Alt key. Your window manager
is buggy if it doesn't recognise that the Alt key has *two* modifiers,
and thus the ``Alt + m'' combination should match a binding for either
A-m or M-m.

The 4.1 configuration makes the 102 key layout incompatible with the
104 key one. The 4.2 configuration makes the 104 key layout a strict
superset of the 102-key one.
This was discussed in depth on Xpert, and the 4.2 layout reflects the
rough consensus reached. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall Branden
as saying that he doesn't care either way.
