I did indeed see the 'big comment' while making the change, but when I looked for a good place in keysymdef.h to put this key nothing obvious seemed like the right place. The "Misc functions" group doesn't seem to have any values left to use. Maybe a new group in the "XK_XKB_KEYS" section? While discussing this issue (on IRC) with Daniel Stone and a few others it was pointed out that the intention to not add symbols toXF86keysym.h might be a relict from era where XFree86 was still "more active" (to put it nicely). So still in doubt after all the discussions I decided to put it in XF86keysym.h was the easiest and despite "the big comment" maybe still the best option; mainly I wanted to get advice where to exactly put this keysym (and future ones as there might be more like this key in the near future since there are quite a few umapped input key events). Sorry, I meant to add all this to a cover letter to the initial patch, somehow that got swallowed. Thanks, CK -- Dr. Christian J.
