Comment 32 for bug 310270

I have new info. I'm using synergy at work to control both my workstation and my XPS1330 from a single keyboard and mouse. synsergy server is launched on the workstation, and synergy client is running on the XPS1330.

I noticed that in this situation (synergys and synergyc running), if I move the mouse on the XPS1330 screen (to control the XPS1330 via synergy) the laptop multimedia keys work correctly inside KDE session and with KMix running.
Just one keypress at a time is detected.

If I move the mouse outside XPS1330 screen (I move back the mouse on the workstation), the multimedia keys return to the bad behavior, and multiple key presses are detected upon a single real key press.

So new info here:

- It's something related to Xorg (synergy uses Xorg to control multiple PCs over the network with a single keyboard and mouse)
- It's related to KDE, because outside KDE (see my previous comments) the multimedia keys work correctly.

I see no activity on this bug, maybe because the issue is not related directly to Kmix. Can you please point me to the right place to report this issue?

XPS1330 is very well supported on Linux, and this issue on multimedia keys is very annoying to me.

Thank you very much!
