This is becoming a very FAQ...and its not directly fvwm related.

I have a key on my Sun (type 5?) keyboard, beside the F keys,
with nothing on it (beside 'Help'). I'd like for it to be
'Lock Screen'. Running 'xev' shows it up as 'NoSymbol'.

This isn't the right keysym (or whatever the correct term is)
for fvwm obviously as it does not work. Question - what is the
correct way of finding the 'name' of that key?

ObFvwmBugsAndRequests:
        (a) StartsOnPage would be very very useful.
        (b) Window tend to uniconise/pop up on the 'wrong' page if iconised with their
                titlebar slightly offscreen.
        (c) Sometimes after certain events (like screen locking, dismissing some
                apps) key bindings don't work. Moving the mouse over a window and
                back out to the root window then allows the bindings to work
                again. (Like F keys to jump pages etc)
