Most of the job of recognizing special keys is done by kernel + xorg,
and as a result generic events are sent to apps (e.g. XF86AudioMute)
to be handled by them). Therefore this ability is not constrained to
Gnome (I do not, however, know how well other DEs handle those events,
but it's a matter of implementing handling of events on their side).
