.... I cannot set the key XF86AudioMedia on my Logitech Cordless Desktop to start Amarok (or any other application, by the way)! All other "multimedia"-keys on the keyboard (as far as they are recognized by the kernel) can be set up via the KDE Control Center to do something. .... When I've seen this for other key sequences I was trying to setup it was due to that key sequence already being assigned to something else somewhere in the KDE hotkey assigning system. The trick was finding it! Once unassigned, my key combos worked until the next KDE update, SUSE Linux update, etc.
That's what I thought, too. But I really don't find any place where XF86AudioMedia is assigned to something else - at least in the different possibilities accessible by the KDE control center (components in German: Kontrollleisten, Tastaturkombinationen, Tastaturkürzel). Is there somewhere else to look? A search for the sting "XF86AudioMedia" in ~/.kde , /opt/kde3/share and /etc/opt/ turned up nothing but my own khotkeysrc. And on some other occasion when I tried to use a key already in use for some other hotkey (XF86Homepage), there was a warning requester. I don't have that with XF86AudioMedia. I already tried deleting the khotkeysrc (very cryptic config file, btw) and disabling kmilo, which is one more programm dealing with the keyboard. btw, I hope that the mess concerning hotkeys will be cleaned up in some future KDE version - why is this chaos necessary???
