Title:
  Wrong Key-Syms are stored in the Settings dialog für XF86 Keys

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using the System-Settings dialog to configure Shortcuts using
  additional keys that result in XF86xxx Keysyms the keysyms are entered
  wrong.

  I am using a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 and was wondering why
  the calculator did not work. The reason for this failure applied to
  all XF86-Keysyms (for example: keysym 0x1008ff49, XF86Launch9)

  For example: 
  To start the system calculator you would press the calculator key; this key will result in the following output from xev:

  KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
      root 0xc3, subw 0x0, time 4286723, (57,76), root:(1977,128),
      state 0x10, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES,
      XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
      XFilterEvent returns: False

  Controlling the value in the keyboard-settings dialog only "Calculator" is seen in the assigned value for starting the calculator. 
  Controlling the value in dconf-editor shows the same result.

  Now when I change the value from Calculator to XF86Calculator in
  dconf-editor the calculator works again.

  This behavior exists for every shortcut based on the XF86-keys when
  they are assigned via the settings-dialog
