Manu, This is because kdebase-bin package provides this file: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap This file contains keycode to keysym mappings for frequently used multimedia/internet keys as described in my previous comment.
As said before not every keyboard generates the same scancodes for the same multimedia/internet key, these keys were added later to keyboards and every manufacturer could choose different scancodes. In Ubuntu we could define some buttons like Back and Forward, that have the same scancodes on nearly every keyboard, to work out of the box. But using a xmodmap file like KDE will likely result in some of your multimedia keys still not working or some keys being swapped. So the question is: Should we make some keyboard buttons work out of the box? Or should your keyboard model be added to xorg to make all your buttons work when selecting the right keyboard model in GNOME Keyboard Preferences? -- Codes shown in Gnome Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
