[Bug 332495] Re: Many multimedia keys doesn't work in KDE 4 - The key you just pressed isn't supported by Qt

[unggnu]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: systemsettings
+ When trying to assign the brightness keys to a keyboard shortcut the
+ message: "The key you just pressed isn't supported by Qt" is displayed.
  
- In Jaunty the sonybright.sh script is removed from /etc/acpi because acpi-support is deprecated afaik. This script was important for the brightness hotkeys to work.
- In Ubuntu the keys still work because gnome-power-manager reacts to them. The Kubuntu counterpart guidance-power-manager is in universe in Jaunty and doesn't change brightness when the brightness keys are pressed so I guess it is a missing function in the Power Management applet package. But I don't know its name. Btw. changing the brightness with the plasmoid works but not with the keys.
- I am using current Kubuntu Jaunty.
+ I guess this is more of a Qt (both 4.4 and 4.5rc) problem, however it occurs in the KDE control center.
+ When trying to assign a function to the multimedia keys of my keyboard, in one case a requester occurs telling me that "This key isn't supported by Qt". 
  
- My laptop is a Sony Vaio TX2 with intel graphic. To manage  brightness
- the sony-laptop backlight class is used.
+ Since in Jaunty the /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh is removed I can't change
+ the backlight of my laptop with Kubuntu but in Ubuntu because later one
+ supports my keys out of the box in guidance-power-manager. Changing the
+ brightness in the KDE power plasmoid works fine so it is only a key
+ problem.
  
- Linux uber 2.6.28-8-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 18 18:48:55 UTC 2009
- i686 GNU/Linux
+ xev definitely shows my keys as supported:
+ KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
+     root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 999639, (-629,210), root:(458,235),
+     state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown),
+ same_screen YES,
+     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
+     XFilterEvent returns: False
+ 
+ KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
+     root 0xab, subw 0x0, time 1000020, (-629,210), root:(458,235),
+     state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp),
+ same_screen YES,
+     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
+     XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
