Sounds acceptible; the main reason I moved it away from $MODKEY-t was
to free that up for view selection via wmiimenu, the reason it ended
up on x is because xterm starts with an x, but I see no problem in
changing it to $MODKEY-Return instead.

That sounds good to me, this was actually the case in wmii-1, but they
were removed somewhere along the ride. I agree that sticking
everything in variables sucks, but in this case it seems beneficial.
