Hang on a second, X? Now I see, it even says
X11 in the subject. X11 is the protocol for X.
Do they have signals of their own?!

My answer has nothing to do with X or X11, it
is plain Unix IPC, just two processes
signalling each other...

Cool idea, cred if you succeed. But in general,
one doesn't need more keys. It is doing
something sensible with the ones you got that's
the trick :)
