Why are intelligent people still talking about "xmodmap"?  X
keymapping using xmodmap is _hard_ to get close to right.  You are
very likely to screw yourself at some later date because xmodmap does
not know about any of the cross constraints the X keyboard model
imposes on the keymap.

Get this straight: mostly GUI sucks as an idea, and even where it's a
good idea the implementations suck.  Don't forget: the N in GNOME is
silent, it's pronounced "gomi".  KDE is for "kiddies" (with or without
script).  X11 itself is no exception, although it's at least not
shameful for real men to admit using it.  But then there's

Don't leave text mode without it.  Not only is the interface right,
but it knows the X keyboard model.

(Could you ask for a better reference, Peter?)  Undoubtedly there's
also an RPM.
