emacs22-nox and terminal app

[EL]

In ubuntu desktop 8.10, i  insstallled emacs22-nox. Hoping to use it in a
traditional way: in a shall.
Since the terminal app's menubar uses alt prefixed hotkeys, the metakey of
emacs stopping work.
So I have to turn teh menubar off everytime I use emacs. I wonder if there
is a way to config my terminal defaulting to no menubar?

Even if the menubar is turned off, I think c-w is not working. So I really
need to know how to make emacs22-nox work correctly, or I have to use emacs
gui?

Thanks for any help,
