Unfortunately, this only takes half the way. Using setkeycodes I can
enable the keys for full screen terminals, but not for X. From "man
setkeycodes":

BUGS
       The keycodes of X have nothing to do with those of Linux. Unusual keys
       can be made visible under Linux, but not under X.

Any ideas for X anyone?
