There are a few "extra" keys on my keyboard. It occurred to me recently
that I could usefully use a couple of them. Running xev reveals that
the keysym for one of them is "XF86Forward":

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
    root 0x4d, subw 0x0, time 402096333, (144,118), root:(178,200),
    state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff27, XF86Forward), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

But if I attempt to bind this in my .fvwm2rc:

Key XF86Forward    R     A    Exec xterm

I get nothing. Am I overlooking something, or is fvwm not capable of
grabbing this key?

I'm running 2.5.21 on a Linux box, btw.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
