Well, qt does not recognize these keys. What I do to workaround is to remap 
them to F13-F31, with a xmodmap like this:

keycode 234 = F13
keycode 233 = F14
keycode 232 = F15
keycode 121 = F16
keycode 229 = F17
keycode 230 = F18
keycode 130 = F19
keycode 236 = F20
keycode 166 = F21
keycode 165 = F22
keycode 158 = F23
keycode 159 = F24
keycode 151 = F25
keycode 164 = F26
keycode 162 = F27
keycode 129 = F28
keycode 111 = F29
keycode 161 = F30
keycode 227 = F31


Note that this example is for the MS Internet Keyboard, so you might have to 
adapt the keycodes to your. And I guess the right solution would be to teach 
Qt to recognize these XF86xyz keycodes.


Bye,
Matthias.
