that key works. only the two XF86AudioRaiseVolume/XF86AudioLowerVolume
do not work, even if I bind exactly the same action as for working key.
not only that, the bound keys do not show in xev (e.g. when I bind
XF86AudioMute it does not show with keysym XF86AudioMute un xev, see
below for details) but these two problem keys still show in xev with
their original keysyms.
it looks like the key binding is not successfull but I get no error
message... might be time to look into source...
