Well, I started off by putting the following lines in my .Xmodmap keycode 117 = Menu keycode 115 = Meta_L keycode 116 = Meta_R I then had to modify one of the X startup files to make sure my .Xmodmap was being sourced. you can use xev to make sure that the KeySyms are begin generated. Then, for fvwm-like window managers, you can configure events to happen when you use these keys like this: Key Meta_L A A Menu "StartMenu" Nop Key Meta_R A A Menu "Utilities" Nop Key Menu A A WindowList Or, you could use the keys in emacs or other applications, though I never got around to playing with remapping that stuff. man xmodmap and man xev should get you started, though.
