btw, GTK is hard coded to use MOD1 as the accelerator
for the underlined letters on the menu bar. this i
cannot change.
shaw and i have updated the menu bar code not underline
(and not trigger menu events) when a keybinding (like
ALT-f in emacs mode) is defined (and when ALT is bound
to MOD1).

ps. does anyone know if GTK propagates MappingNotify
events. i looked at the code briefly and it looked
like it just ate.... (without this we won't respond
to changes via xmodmap while running....)
