I am working on a how-to for this.
Short version is
Step 1- open a console, run xev, and depress the key in question to read
the keycode
Step 2- enter "xmodmap -e "keycode bla = FX" where bla is the keycode
value of the key you are changing and X is the F key you will change it to.
Step 3- xmodmap -pke > joeskeys, where joeskeys is whatever filename
you want. This is to create a file for your new key configuration which
xmodmap can reload.
Step 4- Open a text editor and create the script
#!/bin/bash/
xmodmap /home/joe/joeskeys
use whatever the name of your home directory is if it is not "joe,"
ditto for whatever you named your keyfile
Step 5. Save the script file as "mykeys."
Step 6. chmod 700 mykeys
Step 7. Use Konqueror or whatever other means you desire to cut the file
mykeys and paste it in your .kde/autostart directory.
Step 8. Use hotkeys (in KDE) to assign whatever function you want to FX.

Lee
