[macosx-unix] Xmodmap for aqua apps?

hi all,

so i've finally had some time and fixed the annoying issue on my OSX box
where i could not get "alt+b" "alt+f" keybindings to work in X11 shells. 
i've created a ~/.Xmodmap file that swaps the alt and esc key
functionality in my X11 environment.  here's the changes i've done:

%cat ~/.Xmodmap
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
keycode 63 = Mode_switch
keycode 66 = Meta_L
add Mod1 = Meta_L
add Mod2 = Mode_switch


so, the question is - how do i get these new bindings to be recognized by
aqua.  heck - even better would be a good place to start reading how OSX
and aqua handles keybindings and such...seems i'm still stuck in the X11
world when thinking about this stuff.


thanks!

-pete
