Public bug reported:

Since Ubuntu 11.10, the config examples in ~/.xbindkeysrc are enabled by
default:

#"xbindkeys_show"
  control+shift + q

# set directly keycode (here control + f with my keyboard)
"xterm"
  c:41 + m:0x4

# specify a mouse button
"xterm"
  control + b:2

The shortcut ctrl+f example for xterm is particulary annoying as this is a much 
used shortcut in lots of softwares for searches. After an upgrade, users see 
this shortcut acting strangely as they probably won't make a connection to 
xbindkeys which they might have installed years before. See for instance:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/66456/after-upgrading-to-11-10-when-pressing-ctrlf-xterm-is-popping-up

It would be great to comment those example in this file to avoid
confusion.

Thanks a lot.
