Ah, doing that shed some light on what the issue was, the following was in the output:

  QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
  QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/steve/.config/ibus/bus
  Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
  IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

Once I started ibus-daemon, shortcut events from the external keyboard were detected.

The question becomes, then, why the dependency on ibus, and what's supposed to start it, as I don't see it running on 3 different 10.04 systems that I've looked at.
