That or add keybindings to launch common apps, these are mine (I've
got X set up to use a 102 key keboard and xmodmap to load the windows
key to Mod4).

Mod4 T :ExecCommand aterm
Mod4 E :ExecCommand emacs
Mod4 R :ExecCommand fbrun
Mod4 W :ExecCommand /usr/local/stow/firefox/firefox
Mod4 X :ExecCommand xmms
Mod4 M :ExecCommand aterm -name mutt -e mutt -y
Mod4 Q :ExecCommand gqview
Mod4 F :ExecCommand rox
Mod4 D :ExecCommand dillo
Mod1 Shift b :ExecCommand xmms -f
Mod1 Shift z :ExecCommand xmms -r
Mod1 Shift c :ExecCommand xmms -s
Mod1 Shift x :ExecCommand xmms -p
