Since Ubuntu 11.10, the config examples in ~/.xbindkeysrc are enabled by default:

#"xbindkeys_show"
  control+shift + q

# set directly keycode (here control + f with my keyboard)
"xterm"
  c:41 + m:0x4

# specify a mouse button
"xterm"
  control + b:2

The shortcut ctrl+f example for xterm is particulary annoying as this is a much used shortcut in lots of softwares for searches. After an upgrade, users see this shortcut acting strangely as they probably won't make a connection to xbindkeys which they might have installed years before.

It would be great to comment those example in this file to avoid confusion.

Thanks a lot.
