Comment 7 for bug 310270

I added a new comment on kde bugtracker, I copy it also here.

--

I have new info. I'm using synergy at work to control both my workstation and
my XPS1330 from a single keyboard and mouse. synsergy server is launched on the
workstation, and synergy client is running on the XPS1330.

I noticed that in this situation (synergys and synergyc running), if I move the
mouse on the XPS1330 screen (to control the XPS1330 via synergy) the laptop
multimedia keys work correctly inside KDE session and with KMix running.
Just one keypress at a time is detected.

If I move the mouse outside XPS1330 screen (I move back the mouse on the
workstation), the multimedia keys return to the bad behavior, and multiple key
presses are detected upon a single real key press.

So new info here:

- It's something related to Xorg (synergy uses Xorg to control multiple PCs
over the network with a single keyboard and mouse)
- It's related to KDE, because outside KDE (see my previous comments) the
multimedia keys work correctly.

I see no activity on this bug, maybe because the issue is not related directly
to Kmix. Can you please point me to the right place to report this issue?

XPS1330 is very well supported on Linux, and this issue on multimedia keys is
very annoying to me.

Thank you very much!
