xjed recieves different keysyms depending on the state of numlock:
if you press Keypad 0 and
  a) NumLock is ON,  xjed recieves 0xFFB0 = XK_KP_0
  b) NumLock is OFF, xjed recieves 0xFF9E = XK_KP_INSERT


xjed then translates both into the sequence "\003\033Op".
By using set_keysym you can change this to return different
sequences.

Can something similar be done on other systems?
Otherwise you could add a call to setkey for each sequence.
