I understand very little of your explainations except what i did is ugly :-) 
(i spent half a day to find this ubuntu stuff)

But the problem is still here for the users of (our beloved brand new ) lenny.
 http://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard/MultimediaKeys advices to 
create a ~/.xmodmaprc for each user. This does not look much better.

> setting XkbModel to the right value in xorg.conf would fix that.
how to know the correct XkbModel ?
I have : 
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "fr"
        Option      "XkbVariant" "latin9"
EndSection

I'll can put you explaintions in the wiki, or better read you in the wiki if 
you have time to do this :)

btw, i'd appreciate any hint to reduce the size of the popup window, or should 
i fill a wishreport against some package ?

Cheers
Alain.
