kde-4.5.5: partially lost fn keys on a wireless keyboard, right click only works on workspace 1

[gene heskett]

Greetings;

2 questions actually...

I am an incurable fan of mc for a file manager.  However it appears recent 
updates to kde, now at 4.5.5, seem to have installed some key gobblers and 
the only Fn key that works in mc is the F10=quit key.  All of the others I 
have been reduced to using the mouse for, and I have a similar complaint 
when trying to control some of my home brewed scripts with htop, which can 
use a mouse but is extremely slow at recognizing a mouse click on the 
kill=F9 buttun.

The configure (drakethis and drakethat) menu's do not appear to address 
this specific issue.  32 bit pclos-2010 install on a quad core phenom, 
kernel 2.6.37.

Where should I go looking to be able to negate this unwanted Fn key 
gobbling for the first 9 keys?

Secondarily, since the last update, I only have a right click menu for 
desktop settings on the first workspace.  No reaction to a right click on 
any other workspace, which of course are black, no background pix.

How can this be fixed?

Thanks all.
