THis looks like XF86 adds these key symbols to it's tables only
after fvwm has started. Thus, fvwm wouldn't know about these
keys. The latest 2.5.x code should be able to take care of this.
Of course that's no solution, but it would be interesting to know
if it works.
I vaguely remember a similar problem but I'm not sure what the
solution was. Searching the mailing list archive may help.
