Why would they go away?  You told the server that the key that used to
correspond to KP_Multiply was to correspond to KP_F1; naturally, when
you press it, you get a KP_F1 event, regardless of which client is
listening to the keystroke.

I'm not sure.  You can probably do something with the -name and -class
options and the Translations resource, but I'll let someone better
versed in toolkit magic handle that side of it.
