kde

I have Unity & Gnome 3.4 installed successfully. All Dell keyboard keys work perfectly with both. I installed kde - full via terminal. Everything is working great except for the hotkeys. No calculator, no Mute, nothing. I check which keyboard is selected and choose Dell Multimedia USB Keyboard. No luck.

How do I get my Dell keyboard to work with kde - the same keyboard that works with Unity & Gnome 3.4.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
