Bug 485010: missing/incorrect keysyms with Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 7000

------- Additional Comments from Ben Liblit <liblit at acm.org>
Problem still manifests under Fedora 14.  Symptoms are similar to those
originally described, but there have been a few changes in the details.  Some
keys produce no "evtest" output at all; some are seen by "evtest" but produce
no X keyboard events, and some are seen by both evtest and X but are bound to
the wrong X keysym.

Here's an updated description of what I am seeing:

keycap: telephone handset and globe
evtest: none
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: initiates some sort of voice call?
suggested X keysym: XF86Phone

keycap: "1"
evtest: none
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: launch user-configured app or URL
suggested X keysym: XF86Launch1

keycap: "2"
evtest: none
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: launch user-configured app or URL
suggested X keysym: XF86Launch2

keycap: "3"
evtest: none
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: launch user-configured app or URL
suggested X keysym: XF86Launch3

keycap: monitor with gadgets sidebar emphasized
evtest: none
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: raises gadgets sidebar
suggested X keysym: not sure; any suggestions?

keycap: camera
evtest: type 1 (Key), code 226 (Media)
X keycode: 234
X keysym: X XF86AudioMedia
Windows Vista behavior: opens Pictures folder
suggested X keysym: XF86Pictures

keycap: magnifying glass surrounding "+" sign
evtest: type 1 (Key), code 418 (Zoom In)
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: zooms display in
suggested X keysym: XF86ZoomIn

keycap: magnifying glass surrounding "-" sign
evtest: type 1 (Key), code 419 (Zoom Out)
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: zooms display out
suggested X keysym: XF86ZoomOut

keycap: file folder with arrow indicating opening
evtest: type 1 (Key), code 134 (Open)
X keycode: 142
X keysym: SunOpen
Windows Vista behavior: opens a file in the current app
suggested X keysym: XF86Open
note: a nearby key is correctly bound to XF86Close, so I am suggesting this
change mainly for symmetry

keycap: letters "ABC" with check mark below
evtest: type 1 (Key), code 432 (Spellcheck)
X keycode: none
X keysym: none
Windows Vista behavior: spell-check current document
suggested X keysym: XF86Spell
