The first problem is more complicated than that (and I'd like to know the
solution as well).
In a gnome-terminal, the Alt key *is* defined to act as Meta (in "emacs
-nw", which opens the window in the gnome-terminal). But if you open a
separate window (with "emacs") then the Windows key acts as Meta. It's
the inconsistency that's annoying.
Using xkeycaps, I can swap those, but then the behavior reverses (so
Windows is Meta in the terminal window and Alt is Meta in the emacs
window). If I duplicate the windows key function with the Alt key then I
don't get Meta at all in a terminal window. If I do the reverse, then I
don't get Meta in an emacs window.
What I want is for Alt to be Meta in both types of windows.
BTW, xkeycaps is in Powertools for RH7.0.
