[kde-linux] Cannot set a hotkey for XF86AudioMedia

[Alex]

I have quite a strange problem:

I am currently using SUSE 10.1/64Bit and recent KDE Packages for this distro 
(which are since today 3.5.3, but the problem was already there with all 
previous KDE packages for SUSE 10.1). Everything worked perfectly with SUSE 
10.0.

I cannot set the key XF86AudioMedia on my Logitech Cordless Desktop to start 
Amarok (or any other application, by the way)! All other "multimedia"-keys on 
the keyboard (as far as they are recognized by the kernel) can be set up via 
the KDE Control Center to do something.

The key is, however, recognized. Both "xev" and the KDE Control Center 
show "XF86AudioMedia" when it is pressed. But the action assigned to this 
key, doesn't matter which kind of action, won't be executed.

I tried several of the possibilites in the KDE Control Center to assign 
Hotkeys. BTW the way hotkeys are handled in KDE is quite a mess, several 
possibilities to set this up, and it's not quite clear how they interact.

Any idea what might be going wrong?
