I was seeing the same problem, and for me the problem turned 
to be that I had a XKB definition file that I was using instead
of the standard keyboard maps, so when the special server actions
were changed to work via XKB, they simply weren't there in
my configuration.

What I was doing was pretty unusual ... perhaps you simply have
XKB turned off in your XF86Config?
