Hi,

I've got my menu key bound to the root menu in fluxbox:

from ~/.fluxbox/keys:
None Menu :RootMenu

Until recently this worked just fine. However, it has now stopped
working. I checked with xev, and now the menu key comes up as:

KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 680134456, (-378,390), root:(269,412),
state 0x0, keycode 227 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x66, subw 0x0, time 680134519, (-378,390), root:(269,412),
state 0x0, keycode 227 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

I take this to mean that something has changed in my X set up, and the
menu key is no longer properly mapped to anything. How would I go
about fixing this?

This might get the "Menu" keysymbol back to key 227:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 227 = Menu'
