I notice that the X server on the Sun generates null (0x0) keysyms for
the 'F11', 'F12' and 'KP_Begin' (5 on keypad) keys.  This behavior is
consistent with the SunOS server, but why aren't the relevant keysyms
generated?  I originally assumed that this was a quirk of the Sun server,
but I see that the i386 SVGA server now does this for 'KP_Begin' (new in
1.3).

PS.  Yes, I know that using xmodmap on the appropriate keycodes works around
this, but I was just curious.
