This works for me (OpenWindows v2 FCS).  

Keep in mind that the server sees F12 and L2 as the same, and with xnews
they are mapped to the key labeled "L2" ("Again"), so if you specify F12
in your .Xdefaults, be sure to hit the key labeled "L2" on your keyboard.

If you want something to trigger on pressing F11 or F12, the 
appropriate keysym names are

	SunF36
	SunF37
