7.35 How come my alt key combinations don't work in emacs X mode?

Run the following through xmodmap:

!
! The following is modified from some code received from bjarne@hsr.no
! (Bjarne Steinsbo):
!
keysym Alt_L = Meta_L
keysym F12 = Multi_key
clear mod1
add mod1 = Meta_L
clear mod2
add mod2 = Alt_R Mode_switch
! This is magic!
keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch

The result is:
 - The left Alt key acts as the Meta key.
 - The right Alt key (Alt Gr) selects the extra characters Martin is talking
   about.  (e.g. AltGr-o = o).
 - It is even possible to use both Alt keys together, resulting in
   Meta-versions of the extra characters.
