    On xterm, press the Control key and at the same time left-click somewhere on the xterm window.

    A menu should appear, where you can select "Meta Sends Escape" that should do what you ask

    enter image description here

    To set this option as default, create a file of name .Xresources in you home, and put the following line into it:

    XTerm.metaSendsEscape: true

    then restart your session.
