Configurable keybindings in nxagent
-Keybindings in the redistributed x2go version of nxagent can now be configured
+Keybindings in the redistributed x2go version of nxagent can be configured

Keys are given as a combination of 'key' and (optionally) a number of
modifiers. The key attribute is evaluated into a X11 key via the usual
XStringToKeysym function. A list of possible keys can be found in
-/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, the names are specified without the leading
-'XK_'. Evaluation is case-sensitive, so, 'space' and 'Escape' will work while
-'Space' and 'escape' won't.
