The keys are defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet, in my case in
the section 'xkb_symbols "inspiron"'. This maps the extra keys on my
laptop to XF86* key codes.

Then, in the control center, select the function for which you want to
assign a shortcut, press the button under "Shortcut for selected
action", and press the key you want to assign. This assigns one of the
XF86* key codes as a shortcut.

I already did kdelibs without success, but I'll do the others today as
well. Thanks for the suggestion.

The thing that I find really strange is that the key are recognized,
they just don't work as shortcuts.

Thanks.
