Have you got xbindkeys set up? Does it work if you run it once the
session has started? I haven't ever used it myself (kwin, fluxbox, and
fvwm all have good keybinding built in), so I don't know exactly
what's expected.

If it does, put some echo statements in there and make sure they
actually do get output. Possibly the scrip isn't being run properly.

Also, from looking up the xbindkeys manual, it should fork itself
anyway and so & isn't needed. Try replacing the line with "xbindkeys
-vs" and see if there's any output then too.
