In X, WM has priority in getting the keys, so if WM catches the key,
your app won't have a chance to. You can't change it, except by using
the very new XEvie extension, but even then it's probably not going to
work the way you expect it to (XEvie does some special stuff with input,
not really useful for general applications).
