I'm not using GNOME.

I'd use xmodmap to change the modifier keys. And I'd use xev to  
determine the key code or symbol name of the keys to change.

In ~/.xinitrc you then can have:

        xmodmap ${HOME}/.xmodmaprc

and .xmodmaprc can have a little "programme" like this:

        clear Mod1
        clear Mod2
        add    Mod1    = Alt_L       Alt_R
        add    Mod2    = Meta_L      Meta_R
