I think you're right. I think it's a general X question about how X
clients (a.k.a. applications) interact with the specific class of X
clients called window managers. I should have said that :)

So you may get a better answer on some X / W window manager list, but
the people on this list tend to be fairly knowledgeable so I was just
hoping I might prod somebody into remembering something.

My point (3) does hint there may be something in some API a normal X
client can use to change the window manager's key bindings. It might be
worth reading rdesktop's source.
