I am considering making two changes to the emacs X interface.
The first would be to allow elisp functions to change the
X event mask and bind arbitrary functions to events. This is mostly
to allow lisp functions to recieve mouse motion events, but a 
general capability would also be useful.

The second, to (through the above mechanism) rewrite the handling
of keypress events to use a lisp keymask. This is mostly because the
current handling of function keys is not particularily general 
and assumes that the emacs is recieving key events from a machine
of the same type as the one it is running on.

Any comments concerning the wisdom of these patches, (whether they
are already being done for example), or whether you would be interested
in seeing them once (and if) they are successfuly completed, would be 
appreciated.

Thank you for your products
