I'd really be interested in getting one more patch into the GTK V2 client
before the release.  I just made a modification that seems to fix all of
the problems listed in "[ 1527973 ] bind command does not work"

The only thing is, it is late, and I haven't probably tested it hard
enough, but need to hit the sack as it is work tomorrow.  I'd like a
bit more time to bang on it before committing.  Keybinding in the
client is very broken, so I think this maybe worth waiting on since
it looks like I have something viable.

I am positive it is an improvement even if it isn't perfect.  So far
the Keybinding Modifier checkboxes all behave consistently unlike
the current behavior.

The new code changes the logic of the checkboxes on the keybinding
dialog.  The existing logic is broken and somewhat inconsistent
in implementation.  The new behavior is if no Run/Fire/Alt/Meta
checkboxes are checked, KEYF_NORMAL is assumed (mode N). But,
if all Run/Fire/Alt/Meta are checked, KEYF_MODIFIERS is assumed
(mode A).

So far it seems like it works.  I just have not tested interaction
with the command-line bind/unbind extensively, but enough to think
I can close #1527973.

I'd also want to check to see if it fixes [ 1839894 ] Keybind editor
flaw (gtk2, gtkv2)

But even if not, it is a far sight better than the current code.
