Currently, I have this, which should affect vim/viper/vimpluse... in my 
.emacs:

(require 'redo)
(require 'rect-mark)
(setq viper-mode t)                     ; enable Viper at load time
(setq viper-ex-style-editing nil) ; can backspace past start of insert / 
line
(require 'viper)                  ; load Viper
;(setq vimpulse-experimental nil)   ; don't load bleeding edge code (see 
6. installation instruction)
(require 'vimpulse)               ; load Vimpulse
(setq woman-use-own-frame nil)    ; don't create new frame for manpages
(setq woman-use-topic-at-point t) ; don't prompt upon K key (manpage 
display)

     (require 'rect)

     (defun my-sequence-rectangle (first incr format)
       "Insert increasing numbers at beginning of each line."
       (interactive
        (list (if current-prefix-arg
                  (prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg)
                (string-to-number
                 (read-string "Start value: (0) " nil nil "0")))
              (string-to-number
               (read-string "Increment: (1) " nil nil "1"))
              (read-string "Format: (%d) ")))
       (when (= (length format) 0)
         (setq format "%d"))
       (apply-on-rectangle
        (lambda (start-col end-col count-var)
          (move-to-column start-col)
          (insert (format format (eval count-var)))
          (set count-var (+ (eval count-var) incr)))
        (region-beginning) (region-end) 'first)
       (vimpulse-visual-mode -1))

I am using
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.1) on 
kubuntu/karmic.

The problem arises with any function, I have to call with M-x (btw I 
have to use 'Escape' for M as I have a lot of Alt-keybindings for my 
window manager).

As mentioned above... I have to use Esc.
