thank you. So this is an "acme" only problem (no ppc and such)

acme was the "multimedia"/special keys manager before 2.4 (2.6 ?). It
has been included in gnome afterwards though it does not supported
hexadecimals anymore as  far as i know.

you can reset  the keybinding in gconf
apps>gnome-settings-daemon>keybinding

you could also remove all apps>acme though i believe they are not used
anymore.

>From my problems with acme/keybindings i would say the hexa breaks all
other settings. Removing it and retrying with only X symbols would fix
it.

I won't go into X symbols yet as it is pretty confusing. If the above
does not help or if you already tried it , we 'll go there (and maybe
reassign the bug to the package which ship those X symbols).
It could be that the problem comes from the X keyboard works that have
happened some monthes ago. It fixed all alyout though may have changed
the way your XF86AUdio keys where mapped.

PS: you can remove any hexa by remapping the keybindings to other keys
or typing backspace. Though to find out i did delete/reset all the
bindings in gconf. Thus i may have done more than just removing the
hexa. Please tell which fixed the problem if so.
