 Now that we have a keybinding (see #2122) activities would like to
 implement this (like etoys #2132 or browse #3261, later #452 for general
 activities). But somehow Sugar meddles with the key binding, it doesn't
 come through to activites. Would be nice to get fixed soonish.

 From list discussion:

 bertf: I tried using "xev" in 569 but I do  not see a key event generated.
 Supposedly I need to press fn+space,  right? But all I see is that "fn"
 nonsensically auto-repeats by  itself, and pressing the space bare along
 with it produces a focus- in, -out, and keymap change event ...

 bernie: I noticed that too, but only in the Sugar sesion, so I thought the
 key was already being trapped by the window manager or Sugar itself.

 If you run a classic X session (startx from root), you'll see the key
 works fine.

 From #2122 comment 4:

  I temporarly assigned it to the "XF86Start" because defining a new keysym
 requires importing a new libX11 and at this time (Trial3) we'd prefer not
 to.

 You can easily change the keysym by editing:

  /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/olpc

 And then reloading the settings:

  setxkbmap -v -model olpc us
