collateral question about key bindings

I shamlessly copied these keybindings from this list:

	<keybind key="0x6f">
		  <action name="Execute"><execute>/usr/bin/gnome-panel-screenshot</execute></action>
	  </keybind>

And they work fine. 

However I don't understand where the original poster got the keysym
from, as xev reports:

	KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
		root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 10812270, (931,403), root:(998,420),
		state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
		XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

So where does the 0x6f come from? The xev-reported keysym seems to be
0xff61. Also when I try <keybind key="Print"> nothing happens (and no
error in .xsession-errors either).

Just trying to understand...

Thanks again,
