Ignore it. User left it not configured.

How many times do you intend to configure those keys? I guess once. 
But the popup dialog will appear _every_ time.

The reason itself is questionable, such keys have to mapped within X.

A lot. And we need an option to disable it, and probably by default, 
so it does not make any sense. 

It is also scary how pushing the nowadays systems are -- please do not 
add another element to all questions user has already answer ("yes, I 
want to quit", "no, do not show me ToD again", "no, don't remind me 
again", ...).
