For years, I thought these mappings were server dependent and that
there was no way to figure them out.  Finally, I understood that
the mappings have no fixed meaning.  When you look at the output
of "xmodmap -pke" you can see that several keysyms can be bound to
a single keycode.  The first column denotes the symbol without any
modifiers pressed.  The second column denotes the symbol in
conjunction with shift.  But that's nothing the X server enforces,
it is merely a convention among all X clients.  All further
columns can be interpreted individually by each application.

So, the fix was simply to associate some modifiers with these
columns instead of whining about "unknown" modifiers.

I'm going to add that patch to the next stable release too
(2.4.9).  This version will be released within one or two
weeks.
