He explained it in another message - he is switching between machines
with regular vs. rather uncomfortable keyboard layouts - in the latter
case, he would need to use Fn + someotherkey for otherwise rather common
keys.

Quoth the raven, err, the richard:

So I guess the question is if it would be possible to use a custom,
additional keyboard layout on the Server, and just specify this when
connecting from one of those "weird" machines (IIRC, this uses setxkbmap
in the background), instead of having to rely on an xmodmap hack.
