[CS-FSLUG] Keymapping

Does anyone know any good tutorials on mapping multimedia keys on a multimedia 
keyboard?

I used KHotKeys for the most part of it, but I still have 4 keys that I can´t 
get working.

I need to know the signals ¨my documents¨, ¨my pictures¨ and ¨my music¨ and 
¨messenger¨ are sending.

Also, I´ve been trying to map 2 of my keys that work ok, but I don´t know the 
command to execute to:

1. Log out of kde, and 2. put the computer in ¨sleep¨ mode (which I would like 
this key to actually lock the screen instead of putting the computer into 
sleep mode.)

I downloaded and tried linEAK, but it is just like KHotKeys so there´s no 
point in that.

Also, when I was running MDK 10.0, I found this tutorial on the net that 
showed me how to map these keys and put the map that was created into /etc 
and it worked great, then I found KHotKeys and started using it, but I didn´t 
realize that KHotKeys was working in conjuction with my hacked up version 
in /etc, so when I did a fresh install of MDK 10.1 I didn´t think of saving 
anything and now I can´t find that website that explained how to create the 
file again and put it in /etc.

Any advice would be appreciated. I have a Microsoft Natual Multimedia Keyboard
