See KDE FAQ, section 9.7. "How do I use the three extra keys on my Windows® 
keyboard in KDE?"

What still bothers me, is that I cannot use the extra keys as *modifiers* (as 
meta/super/hyper etc.) because Shift, Ctrl and Alt are hardcoded in the Key 
Bindings dialogs, or so it seems. I would rather see a key grab configuration 
(like in Sawfish) where *any* key combination (which can also be combined 
with mouse actions) can be registered. I think it would also be easier to 
make the bindings (instead of checking and unchecking the checkboxes). How 
about proposing this change to developers?

Strange, the popup opens in the middle of the window :-/ That doesn't make 
sense. Perhaps I should sumbit it as a bug...
