I would like to clarify that I'm using cwm. However, I have the same
issue from a login terminal (without X).
Also, I don't use Emacs, the editor, just the emulation on the command
line. So in my ~/.kshrc I have:
set -o emacs

After upgrading my system to the latest snapshot my Emacs META bindings
are not working properly in the terminal. For instance, from xterm, the
bindings:
M-B (backward-word),
M-F (forward-word),
M-D (kill-word),
output the the characters, â, æ, ä, respectively.
However, the standard or control bindings work as expected. For example:
C-D (delete-char)
C-B (backward-char)
C-E (end-of-line)
How can I get the META bindings working normally at the command line?
Things I've Tried
==========
Adding either or both of the following to my ~/.Xdefaults makes my Emacs
META bindings work at the command line, but breaks my Vim mappings which
use ALT/META.
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
XTerm*eightBitInput: false
