 funky.  Metacity stores integer keysyms internally to maintain its
 keyboard shortcut map.  I was under the impression that, for example,
 a "a" was always the same keysym no matter what the keyboard layout
 was.  Is this not the case?

+Metacity relies on the keysym <-> keycode map though, in order to call
+XGrabKey(). There's another open bug already I think that it doesn't
+properly react to keyboard mapping change events (MappingNotify IIRC).
+There's code that's supposed to react to these events, but it must not
+work.
