I think what you really want to do is bind the keycode 115 to just any
random keysym ... but one you're not already using. Try:

        xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = sterling"

which will make that key send the keysym for Pounds Sterling, which
you almost definitely don't have anywhere else on your keyboard.

Then, in your .fvwmrc, use ``Key sterling <args...>'' to have that key
activate whatever you want.
