 Emacs 18.xx ignores many function keys, and binds the others to
inobvious sequences that vary depending on whether Emacs was compiled
on a Sun or not. My solution was to rip the code out and substitute a
version that used XKeysymToString() to generate codes of the form

	ESC [  ~

which are predictable and match the names other X11 things give those
keys (notably xev). Since x11term.c has escapes in it, I can't post
context diffs; people with anonymous ftp can grab my hacked x11term.c
from snow.white.toronto.edu [128.100.2.160], or you can contact me and
I'll mail a uuencoded patch.

 From what I hear, this problem is fixed in version 19.
