Hi.  On Linux-Athena 9, sawfish passes a C-Print keypress to the
application that currently has focus without responding to it, even if
you've bound something to it.  For instance, the following command does
not result in "foo" appearing in the console when you press C-Print.  It
still works on Athena 8.4, though.

"\012")) 65366 . 65541) ((display-window-by-name-re "CD Audio Player")
[Long keymap list snipped (the same problem occurs when you log in as
sipb0, by the way.  I did this logged in as myself just to show the test
case.)]
