idea about multimedia keyboards

hi!

i'm new to the mailing list, so please don't get angry if that has already 
been discussed. i searched in the archive, but didn't find anything on this.

here's my idea:
there are a lot of so-called multimedia keyboards out there nowadays, so why 
don't get them supported by kde directely? there actually are relatively easy 
ways to get them working under linux and x, i know. but wouldn't it be nice 
to integrate such features offered by programs like xbindkeys and especially 
xbindkeys-config into the kde control center? the code is already written in 
the mentioned packages (both released under the GPL), so it shouldn't be very 
hard to do it (unfortunately, i'm an absolute programming newbie).

maybe the kmix-team could even make kmix dcop-capable and integrate a feature 
that displays the current volume on the desktop. i mean such features that 
are available for (for example) logitech keyboards under windows with which 
you can increase/decrease volume and while you do so, there's a green volume 
bar displayed at the bottom of the screen. afaik this could be possible with 
dcop support.

i hope you understand what i mean and please correct me if there's anything 
wrong in my posting.
