/*
This program changes the keysyms associated with the
keycode that is currently associated to F1 to "a b c d",
wait for 20 seconds and then switches back to the normal
association. The function for switching back to the old
association is also called on SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM.
Pressing F1 during the 20 seconds sleep produces the
character "a". The other characters are produced according
to a combination of factors. In Linux, the second character
is obtained by pressing Control-Alt-F1. The third and fourth
require a keycode to be associated to the keysym Mode_switch
and that this keycode is also added as a modifer in
Mod1-Mod5.
