Unfortunately the fvwm > does not seem to recognize these keysyms and my bindings are ignored. On my system, the XStringToKeysym() function does indeed return the proper keysym value, but then XKeysymToKeycode returns zero. I don't know if it's the same problem on your system. Try $ xmodmap -pke and check if the KeySym is actually assigned to a keycode. If not, you have to use xmodmap to assign these keys to a keycode. > I am able to do this in the sawfish wm and I am successfully using other > keybindings in the fvwm, so I think that the problem is really in the fvwm. > The keysyms are a bit special in that they have the highest two bytes > non-null.
