English keyboards don't usually have this keysym bound by default, but
you can set one up using xmodmap or xkbcomp. Use some useless key
like the right-of-spacebar Alt or Windows key.

I think just putting this in .Xmodmap will make the right-side Windows
key into Multi_key, at least on Red Hat:

  keycode 0x74 = Multi_key

Run "xkeycaps" to see the available keycodes.
