The key was recognized correctly in the keyboard shortcut window. I can change 
it to some other key and then change it back to XF86AudioRaiseVolume . xev 
gives a reasonable response:
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
    root 0x136, subw 0x0, time 3288983755, (340,256), root:(1623,298),
    state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), 
same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 175
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,

    state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), 
same_screen YES,
    XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 175
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False
it's not a actual key on the keyboard, but a small disk you can rotate. In one 
direction it gives XF86AudioLowerVolume, on the other it gives XF86RaiseVolume 
event. The program that actually does the job of adjusting volume somehow 
failed to recognize this key.

Subject: [Bug 59429] Re: Multimedia key partially working

Thanks for your bug. If you use the keyboard shortcut dialog and assign
that action to the volume up key again, does the key label change? does
it work then? what value do you have for the key event if you use xev?
