Keysyms: HomePage vs WWW

James,

Thanks for the insightful information - really interesting.
Unfortunately, as we all know, XKB is not that smart - it cannot
distinguish application launch context from application control
context. So a keysym has to be mapped to the keycode unconditionally.
My question was: what would be the best XKB mapping for the keycode
I32 (the keycode itself does not matter, it is just happen to be used
frequently for THAT key). As an option, we could declare 2 shift
levels - one for App Launch context (WWW), second for App Control
context (HomePage).

I just want some consistent approach, you know...

Sergey
