Hmm, that's an interesting idea...

I kinda like this, but I'm a little afraid about the modifier names -- 
we'd have to standardize on a strict order to make things not a mess, 
and there's no way to enforce it (other than people just having no idea 
what's going on when it doesn't work.

Also note that '+' is not a valid xfconf property name character.

If you intend to use keynames, please use either the GDK keysym names 
(with the GDK_ prefix stripped off), or X keysym names (with whatever 
the prefix is stripped off).
