Getting Alt to act as Meta

Hi,

I've just installed Debian 3.0, and I'm running emacs 20.7.2 in X Windows,
under KDE ; the problem I have is that the Alt key is *not* working as Meta, I
have to use Esc instead.

Under RedHat 7.2, in the same emacs 20.7, the Alt key works as Meta
off-the-box.

Can anyone tell me how I can reconfigure this, so that Alt becomes Meta ? Xev
shows the keysym to be Alt_L, BTW.

Thanks,
Joao
