[gentoo-user] Meta key

[paulie.x]

Hi.
In many terminal applications there are hot-keys corresponding to some 
actions. Many of them start with Meta. Midnight Commander use M-? for 
searching, Emacs use M-> for moving cursor to the end of file... However 
on my Gentoo I must press also Shift to let it work. It seems like 
stupid problem, but I'm accustomed to use Alt-Shift for keyboard layout 
switching (Windows habit) and X (or Gnome, I really don't know) dispatch 
this action before keys are released so 'Alt-Shift-?' is considered like 
'Alt-Shift' and then '?'.
Thx

         Option  "CoreKeyboard"
         Option  "XkbRules" "xorg"
         Option  "XkbModel" "pc105"
#       Option  "XkbOptions" "grp:toggle,grp_led:scroll"
