Just launch texmacs in an xterm or equivalent with: texmacs, so that 
you could ctrl-C in the xterm to pass the gs hang (on any ps file), for 
the pnmtops problem open a terminal, type ps -aux to obtain the 
currently running processes and kill the gs process which hangs.

Read help->configuration->keyboard modifiers: I, for example, use 
XDarwin and WindowMaker, Under XDarwin, Option emulates the button 2 
modifier and Control the button 3 Modifier. Mod1 is ModeSwitch under 
WindowMaker. I use a logitech mouse which is configured as following: 
left button: left clic, right button: right clic, wheel: scroll, wheel 
button: click mapped to button 3. With a single mouse button, you can 
use a combinaison of ctrl and cmd. Same under Apple X11, as long as you 
authorize the emulation as under XDarwin.  Note that, apart of this, I 
did not remap any key (which, in my case, always led to worse 
behaviour).
It's not perfect, but then under TeXmacs, I use escape to obtain Meta, 
escape escape to obtain Alt. Then (on a French keyboard, which uses the 
alt key to produce accentuated character), for the few shortcuts, which 
are not directly accessible, I use the menu or the icons on the icons 
bars (when they exist) and all accentuated characters are still 
produced as they should.
