I also had this bug in openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.6 with a Logitech K520.
Assigning the hotkey showed "Launch (1)" as the assigned key.

I was able to resolve it using the tips at
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=837944 which suggested:

"I searched for the string "Launch (1)" recursively in my directory ~/.kde  and
found it in the files

~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc
~/.kde/share/config/khotkeysrc

In both files I had to replace "Launch (1)" with "Calculator". Oddly enough I
had to replace it with "Calculator", though the terminal application xev
actually indicates the name "XF86Calculator" for that key.

Afterwards you have to reboot, then your special calculator key should work."

After changing mine to be 'Calculator' instead of 'Launch (1)' it worked too.
