				    the meta key apparently acts like 
    'SPC META'.  This is, it inserts a space when depressed before 
    the meta key command sequence executes.

Your X keyboard mappings are wrong.  The key you want to use as Meta
has a keysym of "space" (or something similar).  You can verify this
as follows: run "xmodmap" and look at the "mod1" line of the output.
It ahould contain only keys with names like Meta_L or Alt_R.

The most likely cause of this error is using xmodmap to incorrectly
change the keyboard mapping.  Look for invokations of xmodmap in
your .xsession or other init files.
