The modifier recognition code in gnustep is keyed to keysym, not  
keycode.  I can't recall whether the key being a "modifier" in X's eyes  
matters.  Either way you'll have to use xmodmap or a similar solution  
to assign a keysym to keycode 234.  Then try telling gnustep that  
keysym is your left command.  If it still doesn't work, you can try  
using xmodmap to make 234 recognized as a "modifier" key (but I don't  
think you need to do this).
