One more thing, though:

I like to Meta-b and Meta-f (emacs-style) in an xterm and I hoped that
this change would affect that as well, i.e. when I Meta-b I would jump
to the next whitespace, but this does not occur, even though the
double-clicking acts fine. Is there another configuration for this?

For example:

Frank*Zappa*is_THE_composer period.

Standing on "F", I would like to get between "r" and "p" by typing
Meta-f. How can I achieve this?
