Bad explained sorry, what I meant is the following:
I use my .Xmodmap to map the print  and the break key to 
F13 and F15, using 

keycode 0x6F =	F13	Sys_Req
keycode 0x6E =	F15	Break

If I do that I can bind `F13', control and meta `F13',  but not 
shift `F13', so the situation seems different. 

Two other remarks:

    - it  seems  that the problem  has not  much  to do  with the
      distribution, for I  suffer similar problems in  debian, it
      seems a Xserver related problem. I once tried the X.org
      server but I don't remember whether that problem persisted
      or not.

    - I find  it curious that  Joachim  reported that problem for
      that  xemacs version, but for  other  version the shift key
      behaves fine, while I  suffer  that problem even in  xemacs
      21.4.17 no mule
