+     "XBindKeys is a program that allows you to launch shell commands with
+your keyboard or your mouse under the X Window System.  It links commands to
+keys or mouse buttons, using a configuration file.  It's independent of the
+window manager and can capture all keyboard keys (ex: Power, Wake...).  It
+optionally supports a Guile-based configuration file layout, which enables you
+to access all XBindKeys internals, so you can have key combinations, double
+clicks or timed double clicks take actions.  Also all functions that work in
+Guile will work for XBindKeys.")
