There is a function 'x-rebind-key in src/x11fns.c that you can use to
set the appropriate key bindings.  (help-function 'x-rebind-key)
produces:

   x-rebind-key:
   Rebind KeySym, with ModifierSym, to new string NEWSTRING.
   KeySym and ModifierSym should be Strings representing the names of
   X keyboard keycap and modifier keycap name. If the ModifierSym is
   nill, then the KeySym's key will be bound to NEWSTRING for all modifier
   combinations.
   Common modifiers:
	Shift_L Shift_R Control_L Control_R Meta

I found that this was a little wrong; Meta didn't work, I had to use
"Meta_L".  But otherwise, everything worked out fine (I'm running GNU
Emacs 18.55.3, in case it matters).

Question to Apollo GNU users: is anyone out there using Emacs under
Domain/X11?  I am trying, and am finding it a trying experience.  Is
there a ready-made set of key bindings for all the ctrl-, shift-,
meta-, etc. function keys available?
