It looks like the Sun session manager installed these double-keybindings
(/usr/dt/lib/bindings/sun), among others. It might be that they
customized their Motif to be able to read them, but the normal OpenMotif
cannot. Or, a bug in OpenMotif. As far as I can tell, this syntax
means the "F29" overrides the "Prior".
For Motif 2, I think what you want is:
osfPageUp: <Key>Prior,<Key>F29
osfPageDown: <Key>Next,<Key>F35
But this syntax doesn't work with Motif 1. In that case, I would run
'xev', press your Page Up key, and see which code it actuall sends
(either F29 or Prior). Whichever one it is, use that and delete the other.
Sorry this is so complicated. The system almost works, except where it
doesn't. See "man VirtualBindings" for more info.
[Developers - perhaps we can to somehow detect these legal duplicate
bindings, merge them into a single one, and somehow proceed?]
