I was putting the commands in my .bashrc.  I've now moved the contents, 
without the xmodmap call, to a file called ~/.Xmodmap which I xmodmap from 
the kde Autostart directory right before I invoke tpb.  This isn't ideal, but 
it does prevent the deadlock.

..add support for the previous page/next page web-browsing keys located next 
to the arrow keys.  The other command, I believe, adds support for the 
4th/5th buttons on my mouse.

So, as it stands everything works, but the deadlock is reproducable.  Unless 
someone can convince me that this deadlock is expected, I'll grab the xmodmap 
code and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Thanks for your help,
Shaw
