>Description:
Assigning XF86RaiseVolume, XF86LowerVolume, XF86AudioMute keys as global shortcuts to "Increase Volume", "Decrease Volume" and "Toggle Mute" for "Master Channel" does not work.

When the keys are pressed in the "Configure Shortcuts" dialog in KMix, KMix doesn't seem to pick them up. Other multimedia keys seem to work though.

This worked fine in KDE 3.5.4.
I've confirmed that the key symbols are configured correctly using xev and that it is a problem with KDE 3.5.5.

The KDE Control Center picks up the keys fine when they are pressed but even when configured with KDE Control Center, KMix fails to respond to them.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start KMix (kmix).
Settings -> Configure Global Shortcuts.
Assign XF86RaiseVolume, XF86LowerVolume, XF86AudioMute to the corresponding actions by clicking on the shortcut in the list and pressing the corresponding button on the multimedia keyboard.
