Dear Simon and others

Case solved. It appears that the newest version of Xfree has changed details
about the keyboard events, and this conflicts with latest stable emacs.
One of my friends help me, and I'm now running the unstable, emacs-21.3-r5,
which I got by adding,

=app-editors/emacs-21.3-r5 ~x86

in my /etc/portage/package.keywords file.

Thanks for the help, Jon
