some multimedia keys work,some dont in my "gnome alike" sessions, they work in the kde session.
Volume controls work everywhere, next/previous track only works in kde.

I suspect gnome-session:

amd64
Version: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1

Title:
  Multimedia keys doesn't recognized or recognized wrong

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a "Logitech Media Keyboard 600": http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/support-downloads/downloads/keyboards/devices/2996
  It has several special keys and it's mapped like 2 devices in /dev/input:
  usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-if01  
  usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd

  Some keycodes aren't recognized by Ubuntu because they have a keycodes > 255.
  But other keys are recognized wrong.
  I have associated the "HomePage" key (172) to Firefox, but when I press this key, Firefox opens and it tries to open a page with a random number like "456255847".
  I have associated the "Mail" key (155) to Thunderbird but it doesn't work. It does nothing.
  I have tested both keys with evtest and this is the result:
  $ sudo evtest /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-if01 
  Input driver version is 1.0.1
  Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x46d product 0xc316 version 0x110
  Input device name: "Logitech Logitech USB Keyboard"
