** Description changed:

- 
  After upgrading to lucid, I see:
  
   $ xmodmap -pm
  xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
  
  shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
  lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
  control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
  mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x6c),  Meta_L (0xcd)
  mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
  mod3
  mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
  mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)
  
  But it makes no sense for Super and Hyper keys to both be associated
  with mod4.  I see mod3 is free.  Why not have the Hyper_L key on mod3?
  
  It also looks odd to have two Super_L keys in the map, and to have Meta
  and Alt on mod1.
  
  XEmacs gives these warnings:
  
  (2) (key-mapping/warning)
         Two distinct modifier keys (such as Meta and Hyper) cannot generate
         the same modifier bit, because Emacs won't be able to tell which
         modifier was actually held down when some other key is pressed.  It
         won't be able to tell Meta-x and Hyper-x apart, for example.  Change
         one of these keys to use some other modifier bit.  If you intend for
         these keys to have the same behavior, then change them to have the
         same keysym as well as the same modifier bit.
  
  (3) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs:  Super_R (0x86) generates Mod4, which
  is generated by Hyper.
  
  (4) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs:  Super_R (0x86) generates both Mod3
  and Mod4, which is nonsensical.
