In GNOME, I simply go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. 
Then I choose the action I want, click in the shortcut field and press
the key.  It might come up as something like '0xef', but it'll probably
work.  This has worked for my Microsoft Natural Keyboard and my Logitec
Wireless Keyboard.
