I've been quite happy using the 'hotkeys' program, though it's not a 
kde-specific program.  It comes with definitions for many different 
keyboards in /usr/share/hotkeys/.  You will need to start it whenever 
you log in, though, which can be accomplished with a simple script in 
~/.kde/Autostart/ .
