That stuff is for _excecuting_ a program, and listed is 'xbindkeys'
independent of any WM, depending on just that program being running,
just like the previous links require gnome-settings-fuckup-daemon
or some such thing (i.e. a bloated DE) running instead of a WM.
And really how programs are executed should be up to the Operating
Environment (WM, DE, or some such thing) to decide, instead of 
Overstandardisation.

Since your app is already running, you can just XGrabKey, assuming
nothing else uses the key already.
