I have no problem rebinding `f3' to `kill-this-buffer', and `f4' to
`dired-jump' in ~/.emacs so they work like in GNU Midnight Commander
(now I use Dired instead of MC, but old habits for keys persist ;-)

But there is a worse macro keybinding `C-x q' bound to `kbd-macro-query'
that prevents using `C-x q' for more useful commands like `quit-window'.
I think this problem deserves more attention than binding F-keys.

Regarding `f11', the reason why it's a good change is to provide
compatibility in Emacs between graphical displays and text terminals.
In xterm while running `emacs -nw' typing `f11' toggles Full Screen mode,
but on graphical displays this failed until recent addition of the `f11'
keybinding.
