Apologies. It is indeed Linux's thing. When one types C-M-g, the Linux
keyboard driver produces the two character sequence 0x19,0x07, i.e. ESC
C-g. Presumably under X, this gets converted into C-M-g before Emacs
sees it.
Under X, Linux doesn't handle the event except at the level of each
key's moving up and down. So it never sees this as C-M-g. The X
server assembles the event, and sends it to the application as an X event.
So there is no problem.
