Sorry for (kinda) hijacking the thread, but thing is, this solution is
not perfect. Here is what I have:
in .xmodmaprc
keycode 96 = F10
keycode 76 =
and I execute 'xmodmap .xmodmaprc' from .icewm/startup
In xterms this works as it should (F12 closes mc, and F10 doesn't do
anything), but IceWM still reacts to the F10 key.

Andrei
