Yes, you are right. I'm hitting just Mod1+K L, but if I hitting
bracketleft between K and the L, then I can't hitting L anymore
because I'm coming out of the 'keybindings'. 

Say I want to move xterm from tiled workspace to an empty WS, so I'm
hitting Mod1+K bracketleft and here I'm again in the xterm window,
with blinking cursor; now I'm hitting L and that L appeare in the
xterm window as 'l'.

But, if I'm hitting Mod1+K F F then xterm window are sended to a new,
just created WGroupWS.

The layout of my keyboard is Hungarian: qwertz. To get bracketleft I
must to hit Mod5+B.

In cfg_ion.lua I changed META="Mod1+" to META="Mod3+".

With Xmodmap I changed Control_R to Mod3. I swapped Alt_L and Control_L,
Alt_Gr and Menu. Windows_L (Super_L) and Windows_R (Super_R) are Mod5.

If I'm right clicking on the empty WS then I get the following menu:

Run...
Terminal
Lock screen
Help
About Ion
Styles ->
Debian ->
Session ->

Strange thing happen. I try to open Firefox and get empty black frame
without Firefox window, but if I Close this frame, I get the Firefox
message about closing all tabs.

I reinstall the ion3_20080707-3_i386.deb package, and now Firefox
appeares as it should to appeares.
