By menu, do you mean the options in that configuration program? Such as
some of the ones I listed.
Desktop: log out, sleep, search, e-mail, launch web browser, run a
terminal, all do nothing. None of the sound category items do anything.
I notice that some of these entries don't seem to have a corresponding
entry in the gconf-editor mentioned below.

Not for me... :-( Only a few of them work.

Do you mean "keybinding_commands" rather than keyboard-commands? That
was the other thing I tried. For instance:
gconf-editor 2.10.0:
...
gthumb
metacity
general
global_keybindings
run_command_2 F7
keybinding_commands
command_2 xmms
window_keybindings
workspace_names
mini-commander
...
That appears to work. Though still doesn't help me with one or two
useful buttons on this keyboard (e.g. un/mute the sound, volume
up/down).
