Some more information: I want this for listening to music, with MPD as the server, and Sonata as the client. I made "/etc/X11/Xmodmap" with contents:

    keycode 151 = XF86AudioPlay
    keycode 159 = XF86AudioStop
    keycode 178 = XF86AudioPrev
    keycode 236 = XF86AudioNext

and "HOME/.xbindkeysrc" with contents:

"mpc toggle"
XF86AudioPlay

"mpc stop"
XF86AudioStop

"mpc prev"
XF86AudioPrev

"mpc next"
XF86AudioNext

Now, the only problem is that XBindKeys does not work when I am not logged in.
