Ah, right.  We can fix the interactive spec not to signal an error.

The decision should not be based on the fact that they all come
from xterm.  I think xterm-paste wouldn't be right on special-map.

But to tell you the truth, I'm not completely sure what should go on
special-map and what shouldn't.

I think it makes a difference if you do:

    C-x <focus-out> <focus-in> C-c

[ My general rule of thumb for special-map is to think about what
  should happen if such events happen in the middle of
  a key-sequence.  ]
