For fun, run:

    xev


It will tell you key codes, like on my laptop, I have:

speaker up button -- 176

speaker down button -- 174

some "i" with a circle around it -- 178

envelope -- 236

some menu with pointer button -- 117

left Windows key -- 115

right Windows key -- 116

Sorry I don't have KDE on this laptop, but I may follow this discussion to
program my wife's extra buttons for her KDE.
