Hi Knut,

First of all, you should not top-post and you should not send ASCII and
HTML to a mailing list. Normally I do not respond to top-post replies.
Any way ...

You can map a keycode to a keysym with a syntax like this (like I'm used
to do so for having Spanish tilded chars on a German keyboard):

xmodmap -e "keycode 0x40 =  Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x39 =  n N ntilde Ntilde"
...

with the @-symbol?
