title: how do i detect key combinations in python from the background in linux?
body: <p>what I am trying to do is to make a script running in the background, and when I press a key combination(for example Fn + w) another script is executed. </p>
  
  <p>If this is very hard to do in python I could do it in an other one, or if anyone knows another way to do this.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Ubuntu 11.10 with XFCE.</p>
