Since we're talking about key-bindings, how would I go about using keys
that xev displays no character or keysym for?  All the "windows" keys on
my keyboard return only a differing keycode.  There is no keysym for
them and certainly no character.  On a few other keyboards, I have extra
buttons that likewise don't return keysyms or characters.

Any ideas, or are they just dead keys?
