Hi,

Go to a text console (not a console window in a GUI), log on as root and type:
tail -f /var/log/messages

And then press those keys that are not recognized in you GUI. See if they're 
logged as unknown key presses by the kernel. If they are, use setkeycodes to 
register them. Put the setkeycodes commands in your rc.local to get them 
executed every time you boot. Then you'll be able to use these keys in 
shortcuts.
Some keys are not detected by the kernel at all and, in this case, I do not 
know how to use them in Linux.
