You can teach emacs to use another combination instead of Meta-Space
(global-set-key [?\M-\`] 'just-one-space)

You can teach your X to bind the Win key (if you have a keyboard with Win)
to Meta, and Alt to be used by icewm (with space). This is what i am
using.

You can press Scroll Lock before pressing Meta-Space and Icewm won't
capture it but instead send it to the current application (your emacs).

Good Luck.
