I think you're right. I think it's a general X question about how X
clients (a.k.a. applications) interact with the specific class of X
clients called window managers. I should have said that :)

So you may get a better answer on some X / W window manager list, but
the people on this list tend to be fairly knowledgeable so I was just
hoping I might prod somebody into remembering something.

My point (3) does hint there may be something in some API a normal X
client can use to change the window manager's key bindings. It might be
worth reading rdesktop's source.

Thanks for all the help. I've put it in the too hard box for the moment, 
but will come back to it later...
