Ignore Peter, he's too hardcore for words, and listen to me :) Use
xkeycaps, because it gives you a nice graphical interface on this,
rather than pratting about with xev ;-)
Xkeycaps does actually do the xmodmap stuff under the covers, but it's
a lot easier than doing it the hardcore way, in much the same way that
apt-get is easier than using Slackware...

Just point your web browser at http://www.python.org/search/ and look
for "program", "doesn't", "work", or "my". Whenever you find someone
else whose program didn't work, don't do what they did. Repeat as
needed. -- Tim Peters, on python-help, 16 Jun 1998
