Odd problem with Logitech Cordless Elite keyboard

[Kelly Miller]

In case no one knows, the Cordless Elite has a bunch of media keys at the top; 
Play, Stop, a volume knob, Mute, etc.

I have all the keys working and picked up by Fedora; however, Fedora doesn't 
react to the volume knob being turned up at all.

Oddly enough, if I use xev, the knob IS deteched and given the correct key 
event, and I can even set it using KHotkeys.  However, the system never does 
anything when I use it outside of those situations.

Menu:  System | Preferences | Personal | Keyboard Shortcuts
then scroll down to "Volume down" and "Volume up" under Sound....

(Note this is Fedora 7 -- may be in a slightly different location in your
version.)

I use KDE, not GNOME.  Plus, setting the hotkeys in either desktop doesn't 
work, as I mentioned before.  The key IS picked up by the hotkey programs, 
but when I use the key normally, it is NOT picked up.

I'd seen similar behaviour.  If I defined the keys properly, some things
would work with it, but XMMS ignored it.  Alternatively, not defining
them, XMMS would pay attention to the raw key codes.  GRR...  I gave up,
at least I could easily pause some music playing if the phone rang.
