On emacs 21.4 (the one to be included the next Debian stable release)
M-g seems to have something to do with setting faces, eg

  M-g b runs the command facemenu-set-bold
  M-g i runs the command facemenu-set-italic

also M-g M-g runs the command font-lock-fontify-block

[for some reason C-h k M-g does exactly the same as plain M-g, in
particular it does not tell you wtf it actually does]
M-g n (and M-g g and M-g p) are undefined

I hope you are not going to remove C-c ` completely (on uk keyboards `
is to the left of the 1, quite easy to type)
