	There's one additional point you might need to consider.  The rebind-key
function takes an X keysym name as an argument.  There aren't enough X keysyms
to handle all of Sun's function keys.  As I recall, there are keysyms for
F1-F35, but Sun has 37 functions keys (including Left, Top, and Right).

	As a result, the keys labeled F11 and F12 produce the same code as those
labeled L1 and L2 (I think the actual keysyms are the ones for F1 and F2).  So
if you want to be able to distinguish between F11 and L1, and between F12 and
L2, you need to remap a couple of the keys to unused keysyms.

	I chose to map F11 to KP_Space and F12 to KP_Tab, two keysyms that
aren't used on a Sun4 keyboard.  The choice is really pretty arbitrary, and you
could just as easily remap L1 and L2, or even L1 and F12.  The issue is
uniqueness.

	I put the following commands in my .xinitrc to do this:

xmodmap -e "keycode 16=KP_Space"
xmodmap -e "keycode 18=KP_Tab"
