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.
