I have setup my pc101 keyboard to have Emacs recognized all Escape, Meta,
Alt, Control, Super, Hyper, Shift, etc etc.  Below is my ~/.Xmodmap, which
makes my keyboard look like this:

[Control]
[Shift]   .....................................[Shift]
[Fn/Multi] [Hyper] [Meta] [Space] [Alt] [Super]

I hope everyone adopt this map so there is nonzero chance that I'll still
be able to function when forced to use others' keyboard.  :)
