>+ <para>Can I use the Windows(tm) keys on my keyboard in X?</para></question>
>+ 
>+ <answer>
>+   <para>Yes. All you need to do is use &man.xmodmap.1; to define what
>+   function you wish them to perform.</para>
>+ 
>+   <para>Assuming all &quot;Windows(tm)&quot; keyboards are standard then
>+   the keycodes for the 3 keys are</para>
>+ 
>+     <itemizedlist>
>+       <listitem>
>+         <para>115 - Windows(tm) key, between the left-hand Ctrl and
>+ 	Alt keys</para>
>+       </listitem>
>+       <listitem>
>+         <para>116 - Windows(tm) key, to the right of the Alt-Gr key</para>
>+       </listitem>
>+       <listitem>
>+         <para>117 - Menu key, to the left of the right-hand Ctrl key</para>
>+       </listitem>
>+     </itemizedlist>
>+ 
>+   <para>The command
>+     <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = comma"
>+     </userinput></screen>will make the left Windows(tm) key print a comma
>+     (you will probably have to re-start X to see the result)</para>
>+ 
>+   <para>To have the Windows(tm) key-mappings enabled automatically
>+   everytime you start X either put the <command>xmodmap</command> commands
>+   in your <filename>~/.xinitrc</filename> file or, preferably, create a
>+   file <filename>~/.xmodmaprc</filename> and just include the
>+   <command>xmodmap</command> options, one per line.</para>
>+ 
>+   <para>For example, I have mapped the 3 keys to be F13, F14, and F15
>+   respectively. This makes it easy to map them to useful functions within
>+   applications or your window manager.</para>
>+ 
>+   <para>To do this put the following in <filename>~/.xmodmaprc</filename>
>+   </para>
>+ 
>+   <programlisting>keycode 115 = F13
>+ keycode 116 = F14
>+ keycode 117 = F15</programlisting>
>+ 
>+   <para>I use <command>fvwm2</command> and have mapped the keys so that
>+   F13 iconifies (or de-iconifies) the window the cursor is in, F14 brings
>+   the window the cursor is in to the front or, if it is already at the
>+   front, pushes it to the back, and F15 pops up the main Workplace
>+   (application) menu even if the cursor is not on the desktop, which is
>+   useful if you don't have any part of the desktop visible (and the logo
>+   on the key matches its functionality).</para>
>+ 
>+   <para>The entries in my <filename>~/.fvwmrc</filename> which map the
>+   keys this way are:</para>
>+ 
>+   <programlisting>Key F13        FTIWS    A        Iconify
>+ Key F14        FTIWS    A        RaiseLower
>+ Key F15        A        A        Menu Workplace Nop</programlisting>
