Well, there is a difference, because some keys are already handled differently in KDE actually. But you are right, that if one Fn button is working on KDE Desktop in Ubuntu everything else should work.

No, but it doesn't mean you have to reinstall the whole distro for this test. Forgetting the fact, that I had it during breezy that kubuntu install cd behaved differently then the ubuntu one ;) Have a nice Sunday, \sh
