It turns out the answer is Yes, KDE 3.4.0 has a Keyboard Layout setting in its Control Center->Regional & Accessibility section, in a tab "Xkb options." My old KDE 2.2.1 either didn't have this or defaulted to the right thing. Adjusting the settings there restored my Meta Key funtionality on the Alt key. Now if I can figure out how to activate a Compose Key I'll be even happier. Unfortunately, the KDE Control Center doesn't know about my Happy Hacking PC/XFree keyboard, (while xkeycaps does, and xkeycaps is vintage 1999) so activating the real keys in KDE's tool is total trial and error. FWIW, Jim
