I have been having trouble getting XRebindKeysym to do what I want
which is bind arbitary strings to the fn keys.

Host : Apollo
Term : sun/3/60


static char f1_reg[] = "f1 reg";
static char f1_ctrl[] = "f1 ctrl";
Keysym list[7];

XRebindKeysym (display, XK_F1, NULL, 0, f1_reg, 6); )
list[0] = XK_Control_L;
XRebindKeysym (display, XK_F1, list, 1, f1_ctrl, 7);

It overwrites the non control string with the control.

ie : press <f1>
     returns "f1 ctrl"
     press <f1> <Ctrl>
     returns "f1 ctrl"

However if I define the plain XK_F1 after the control key was defined
then I get both as I expect. (reverse the code above.)
ie : press <f1>
     returns "f1 reg"
     press <f1> <Ctrl>
     returns "f1 ctrl"

If I define only the control f1 then I get both f1 and ctrl f1 as
the same (results identical to case 1 above.)

I am using XLookupString to decode the event string.
Anyone else have this problem?
