After experimenting a lot with xbindkeys+xvkbd for use in debbie (mostly in vain, see above), I discovered that F1-F12 for some reason work reliably only when the option -xsendevent is included. So all entries in /home/user/.xbindkeysrc like

Code:

"xvkbd -text "\[F1]""
 m:0x81 + c:24
...

should be replaced by

Code:

"xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[F1]""                                   
 m:0x81 + c:24                                                      
...

Without -xsendevent, it seems to work reliably the first time used, but then only after several further attempts. With -xsendevent, it never failed me.
