look at the Dokumentation of your Windowmanager. The sun F1 Key (or front Key)
is just an definition inside ie twmrc to setup the key to work as requested.
Just run plain X without a windowmanager and you will see, what windows are
without a windowmanager :-). Just get your sun twmrc and put it on yourt linux
box and enjoy :-)
Donot use XmodMap for such ugly stuff :-(
XmodMap is used to define the Basic Keyboard Mappings (ie if you use a German
Keyboard, or Spanish, etc...)
