I was kinda expecting that :-P

Mine look similar. I guess, you might want to know the key code that is
being fired when you actually click on these multimedia keys.

Meaning, when you try to reset the above, do you still see XF86... when
you click on these keys? If you do, then I would suspect that GNOME is
not capturing them. Can't think of a nice way to debug the issue, but
will let you know once I have more information

thanks,
Rogue
