Installed Fluxbox and the multimedia keys work fine straight 'out of
the box' - forgot how much I like Fluxbox/Blackbox! I used Blackbox
years and years ago, so will probably stick with Fluxbox. As you
probably guessed, I'm trying to stay away from the Gnome/KDE behemoth
model, which is why I installed WindowMaker a few days ago and then
Fluxbox.
I'm reluctant to label this as 'solved' as it seems the problem lays
with WindowMaker/WPrefs, meaning I have to put these three commands...
amixer set Master 2%+
amixer set Master 2%-
amixer set Master toggle
... in menu items and bind shortcut keys to them, which is maybe only
semi-solved?
Oh yeah, Fluxbox is so great.
