For those of you not on the cvs commit list, a day or so back I did update 
the 
gtkv2 client so it does now have a keybinding gui interface.  That seems to 
have 
been one of the most common things people said were missing.  I'd be interested 
in people trying it out and making sure it works and meets needs.

  As a note, the gtkv2 interface now supports using the meta and alt keys as 
additional bind modifiers.  Thus, you could bind Alt-F1 to one command, Meta-F1 
to another command, control-F1 to a third command, shift-F1 to a fourth 
command, 
and just plain F1 to yet a fifth command.

  This should provide a lot more flexibility in binding.

  However, one issue is that the gtkv1 and gtkv2 share the same keymapping 
file. 
  the gtkv2 client introduces some new modifiers for Alt and Meta.  The result 
is that if you use the gtkv2 client and bind with those modifiers and then run 
the gtkv1 client, it will strip out those bindings because it doesn't 
understand 
that line.

  This support for meta/alt should probably be back ported to the gtkv1 client. 
  I don't think it would be that hard to do, since the code from the gtkv2 
client could be used to a good extent.  Any volunteers?
