Are you using fvwm or afterstep? They use CTL+cursor to switch
desktops. If not, then which games are you playing?
My only problem is that although I've got:
LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt Meta
defined in /etc/X11/XF86Config, they don't work as Meta keys. At
least emacs doesn't think so. TCL/TK apps interperet them as Alt_L
and Alt_R.
