xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), BadKey (0x7d), BadKey (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x73), BadKey (0x7f), Super_R (0x74)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

OK, shift+alt is producing Meta_L. But I expected applications including
fvwm would interpret Alt and Meta as synonyms?
