Sorry for my poor english !

By default, screen use 'ctrl+a' as the control seq for screen command.
e.g. 'ctrl+a w' is switch region in  screen

>From screen config, I can configure to use 'ctrl+b' instead of 'ctrl+a'
but cannot use other meta key (as it is a terminal progs but not X)

But I'd like to have a way to use 'alt' instead of 'ctrl'

in xterm I use the following cfg in .Xdefaults to translate a 
alt+` (alt + backquote) to a normal 'ctrl+a' event
so that I can use alt+` in screen

>>>
*VT100.Translations: #override \
        Mod1 <KeyPress>`: string(0x01) \n
>>>

and my question is :
can I can similar thing in gnome-terminal?
