Hello,

I have just installed XFree86 under FreeBSD 2.0.5 and it seems that key
bindings as provided by twm and other window managers do not work.

I have tried to add these bindings in the file `system.twmrc':

"F1" = : all : f.warptoscreen "next"
"F2" = : all : f.warptoscreen "prev"

but when I press F1/F2, nothing happens (in xterm, I get the VT100
escape sequences for F1/F2 instead).

The predefined (system.fvwmrc) bindings for fvwm do not work, either.

F1, F2, etc are defined keysyms.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Bye,
	nmh.
