I know that v19 is supposed to have very nice X11 interfaces, but in
the meantime, can anyone supply code that uses keysyms "properly"
under X11R4 ? The code in x11term.c tries to take charge of its own
keysym->string mappings for function keys, rather than relying on the
value returned by XLookupString().  In addition, if the keysym is
anything other than one of a list of predefined ones, then you effectively
lose the key.

I will grant that this is a "philosophical" question, in that there's
a decision to be made on whether or not Emacs should allow people
to alter the keybindings present in the X server (or rather, in the
area managed by XRebindKeysym()). I am happy to leave that to RMS
and others who want to get v19 done "the right way" (whatever it is
I'm sure it will be great). However, in the meantime, I want to be
able to use the "application" keypad, and some other not-part-of-the
run-of-the-mill-list-of-keysyms in stringFuncVal(). 

If no-one has already done this, I'm happy to volunteer to write it,
but I thought I'd check first.
