I can't get the 'Switch while pressed' options to
work.
Is this normal -- will there always be some options
that won't work on some people's systems?
I've added a note to the top of the section:

"The options shown in this tabbed section depend on
the X windowing system you are using. Not all the
following options might be listed on your system, and
not all the options shown might work on your system."

The other option to add a Euro character to a key --
this adds the Euro as a Third Level, doesn't it?

Same again, I can't get most of these to work.
 
Does anyone know anything about the two Miscellaneous
options?
