Peter,

this should really be in the FAQ.  i had this problem until just
recently.  you need to go into your XF86Config file and remove the #
from the RightAlt line.

       # To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift, 
       # RightCtl key to Compose, and ScrollLock key to ModeLock:

       #    LeftAlt     Meta
	   RightAlt    ModeShift
       #    RightCtl    Compose
       #    ScrollLock  ModeLock
