Bug Description
Mute, volume up/down keys do not work out of the box in Kubuntu (tested with 5.10 and Dapper Flight 2).
I have HP Compaq nw8240 notebook and I could manually configure these keys by adding proper xmodmap entries:
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerV
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseV
It would be nice if this can be fixed for Dapper.

hotkey-setup can't touch the X keymaps, and changing every X keymap is a painful
and invasive procedure. In Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) we can basically guarantee that
volume keys are on a certain keycode - it would be handy if KDE could handle
this on its own.
