What were you trying to do?
	Rebind several keys to nothing so that they produce no
	character sequences when pressed.

What's wrong:
	It's possible to do this by using "keysym KEYSYMNAME =", i.e.
	by not specifying any keysym names after the equal sign.
	However, the man page for xmodmap implies that at least one
	keysymname must be specified.

What should have happened:
	The man page should be made more explicit to exaplin that many
	of the commands allow zero or more items to be specified after
	the equal sign, not one or more.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	xmodmap(1).
