Function Key Lock in Linux?

I have a MS Natural Multimedia Keyboard and the Print Screen/Insert button share the same key. I have to have function lock on in order to use the Insert button, which I find I need pretty often in Linux. F1-F12 have the same problem, they're remapped to "Help", "Undo", "Redo" etc.

I know there's a patch for Windows http://www.mvps.org/jtsang/flock.html. But is there anything for Linux (Ubuntu)?
 
You can remap those keys in X. It's done through xmodmap(1), but I'm sure there's frontends for it.

It can also be done for the console, and if your function keys need it, it's probably a good idea. Use loadkeys(1).
