For the time being, I will change the key mapping like follow:

o gtags.el: Key mapping was changed to follow "Key binding conventions" of 
Emacs Lisp.
  - The prefix character "\C-c" of the suggested key mapping became 
customizable.
    If you want to invoke 'gtags-find-tag by "\C-xt", please write your .emacs 
file
    like follow:

        [$HOME/.emacs]
        (setq gtags-suggested-key-mapping t)
        (setq gtags-prefix-key "\C-x")

  - Policy of key mapping was changed.
  [Old] If 'gtags-suggested-key-mapping' is false, any key mapping is not done.
  [New] If 'gtags-suggested-key-mapping' is false, almost key mapping is not 
done.
        But "\C-m" and "\C-t" in 'Gtags select mode' are always enabled.

I believe this method is not contrary to the Conventions.
