Make sure that this is all happening within the same client.  The XRebindKeysym
call is used within a single process and does not send any information to the
server.  Global, arbitrary binding of strings to keys is still being designed.

If this isn't problem then a small example of code along with a description of
which release of X, the operating system, and the display being used would be
useful.
