1 Since going to x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 2 days ago, I've been having
2 trouble with just 1 multimedia key on a Logitech cordless keyboard
3 (Model Y-RJ20). The key is labeled "Media" and produces legitimate
4 KeyPress and KeyRelease events in xev.

6 ...snip
7 keycode 237 (keysym 0x1008ff32, XF86AudioMedia)

9 In "kcontrol --> Regional & Accessibility --> Input Actions" I have a
10 group defined for Amarok, and in there one of the Actions is for this
11 key to do a "Command/URL Simple" which is:
12
13 amarok --toggle-playlist-window
14
15 which doesn't do anything now. 5 other media related keys work as
16 they always have .
17
18 I've tried changing to different Logitech keyboard models, although none
19 of them match exactly. But I really think this is an xorg issue.

21 All suggestions are welcome.
