Still no joy with ccsm, although I may have identified more of the issue.
If I setup a commandline and try to invoke with some of the more "special' keys, e.g. "Brightness Up" that I have on my daskeyboard, it "grabs" the key combination as "XF86Launch6", or "XF86Launch5" for brightness down, or "XF86Eject", for eject (as I have no optical media drive I reassign this for other things)
If I pick a standard key like "F12", the command line executes.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about the input system to know what the differences are between a "standard" key and an "emulated XF86" one and the ways they are interpreted by the system.
