Yes, that's what I'm saying.

That's right, "C-x s" produces "C-x dalet". But the original gripe
was regarding Ctrl- and Alt-modified characters, and these do work on
Windows as I'd expect.
Could you and Larry please look for an option of the X keyboard driver
to leave the Ctrl- and Alt-modified keys untranslated? This would
eliminate at least some of the issue. At least with commands like
incremental search, it would be very inconvenient to have to switch
the language between C-s and the string, especially since switching
the language could produce an input event on some platforms, which
will exit the I-search.
