Global keyboard shortcuts w/ Xlib

[Keith Maika <keithm aoeex com>]

	I have a small app for which I would like to create a global keyboard 
shortcut.  What I mean by that is I want to make it so that when I press 
a key combination, CTRL+ALT+F12 for example, I want my application to 
appear on screen and have focus.  I want to be able to perform this 
shortcut from anywhere, regarless of which application is actively 
focused at the time.

	For those who know the Windows API, I'm looking for something like the 
RegisterHotkey function.

	I heard I need to use the XLib to be able to watch the key events, but 
I'm not sure how to go about this.  I managed to get the XGrabKey 
function to execute without any problems, but after that I'm not sure 
how to monitor the key-press events in order to catch the shortcut. 
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong though and XGrabKey isn't what I need.

Thanks for any help,
