Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

X.org keyboard database in Ubuntu Karmic doesn't provide keycode
mappings nor keysyms for Apples Expose & Dashboard keys (F3/F4) although
the Linux kernel's evdev layer reports correct keycodes. The attached
patch adds the required keycode definitions to
/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev as well as symbols to
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet (evdev section). Those symbols finally
can be used to configure compiz.

Note: I assigned the symbols XF86LaunchA and XF86LaunchB due to a lack
of better alternatives.

This is package version:
$ apt-cache policy xkb-data
