Which window manager are you using? KDE has pretty simple
configuration, I hear. I don't even know about gnome. My FVWM setup
was a little more complicated but it's a _lot_ more flexible than any of
the other WM's key configurations (for instance, it can easily do
anything you can write in a script and can behave differently with shift
control or alt)
You can always just bind the keys to function keys, here's what I have
for my Logitec Cordless Desktop Pro:
# left 'doze keycode 115 F13
# right 'doze keycode 116 F14
# menu keycode 117 F15
# logitech keycode 161 F28
xmodmap -e 'keycode 115 = F13'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 116 = F14'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 117 = F15'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 161 = F28'
# sleep keycode 223 F16
# home keycode 178 F17
# email keycode 236 F18
# search keycode 229 F19
# run keycode 230 F20
xmodmap -e 'keycode 223 = F16'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 178 = F17'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 236 = F18'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 229 = F19'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 230 = F20'
# mute keycode 160 F21
# vol down keycode 174 F22
# vol up keycode 176 F23
# pause keycode 162 F24
# stop keycode 164 F25
# replay keycode 144 F26
# skip to next keycode 153 F27
xmodmap -e 'keycode 160 = F21'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 174 = F22'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 176 = F23'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 162 = F24'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 164 = F25'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 144 = F26'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 153 = F27'
