[ltp] More Fn key and KDE

Hey folks --
I took Ted's advice and added the setkeycodes to my startup. I then took
Frederic's advice and used xmodmap to get X to recognize the key. Instead of
using exactly what he suggested, I thought I would map it to the Meta_L
modifier so KDE would pick it up as the windows key:
keycode 227 = Meta_L
add Mod4 = Meta_L
And this seems to work -- if I go to the Keyboard Shortcuts configuration
module and switch to the Modifier Keys tab, I see the KDE Modifier for Win is
mod4. However, when I try to define a shortcut using the Fn key, it does not
seem to work. I pressing the Fn key garners no reaction from the define
shortcut window, but when I hold down the Fn key and a letter key, the define
shortcut window says "Win+" but never says anything about the additional key.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks for all the help!
cheers,
-steve
