All special keys seems to work now: Volume up, volume down and mute (these also
gives OSD info), brightness keys does not give OSD, but works as expected (as
they always have), stand-by button works.

The hibernate button (Fn-F1) does nothing (I haven't configured it to do
anything either), and the battery button (Fn-F3) does nothing, but I guess I
could configure these.

None of the special keys report unrecognized keypresses (dmesg) anymore, so I
guess this is fixed, therefore closing this bug. Thanks!

Note, however, that what I would really like to have, is a simple user friendly
tool with which I could record and report all multimedia keys back to the KDE
team, for easy inclusion in the next release. That way I, as a non-developer,
could help other users get stuff to work out of the box with "new" hardware.
(The Dell Latitude X1 is old and outdated and is barely able to run KDE4
anyway, so I will probably have to buy a new laptop soon, and go through the
multimedia key hassle all over)

This is using: 
kernel 2.6.28 (Linus git ede6f5aea054d3fb67c78857f7abdee602302043, newest
suspend/resume working kernel for the X1)
kdelibs-4.2.0-11.fc11.i386
