Bug Description
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
X.org keyboard database in Ubuntu Karmic doesn't provide keycode mappings nor keysyms for Apples Expose & Dashboard keys (F3/F4) although the Linux kernel's evdev layer reports correct keycodes. The attached patch adds the required keycode definitions to /usr/share/
Note: I assigned the symbols XF86LaunchA and XF86LaunchB due to a lack of better alternatives.
This is package version:
$ apt-cache policy xkb-data
