In message at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-December/002059.html you ask results of procedure below. Don't work here.

"How to manually test this with brightness keys on your laptop:

1. Manually assign keycode
In Konsole, execute the following commands:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 101 = XF86LaunchD'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 212 = XF86LaunchE'

2. Assign some KDE global shortcuts
- start System Settings
- go to "Keyboard & Mouse", select "Keyboard Shortcuts" section
- in "Shortcuts Schemes", check that you are in "Global Shortcuts" tabe
- find "Maximize Window" action (in "Windows" section)
- select it and in the bottom of screen select "Custom" or click on button
with "None" label
- dialog will open, now press appropriate brightness key (up or down)
- XF86LaunchD or XF86LaunchE should be entered
  (if not, check step 1.)
- click "Apply" button

3. Test newly assigned key
- ensure that you have one window set as current
- press assigned key -> window should maximize

If the first key works, please repeat step 2. and 3. with the second
brightness key, to test both xkeysym assignments.
When I get some reports (positive or negative), we can debug this further.

You can also try to reach me on IRC in #kubuntu-devel - just ping Lure.

Luka"
