Hi Thomas,

I have the follow bindings in my xmonad.hs for the multimedia
keys and the ThinkVantage key(Lenovo R61):

-------------------------8<------------------------------

    -- multimedia keys
    -- XF86AudioLowerVolume
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff13), spawn "volume-louder")
    -- XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff11), spawn "volume-quieter")
    -- XF86AudioMute
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff12), spawn "volume-mute")
    -- XF86AudioMicMute
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff41), spawn "volume-mic-mute")
    -- XF86AudioNext
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff17), spawn "player-next")
    -- XF86AudioPrev
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff16), spawn "player-prev")
    -- XF86AudioPlay
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff14), spawn "player-start")
    -- XF86AudioStop
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff15), spawn "player-stop")
-------------------------8<------------------------------

It works fine for me, as you can see, I use "0x1008ff41" keysym
directly.

Cheers,
Sergey
