On my compaq keyboard, I have successfully mapped the extra keys in X
in a similar manner to mapping the windows keys in X.

Using xev you can grab the keycodes. And use xmodmap to map them to
function keys.

xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = F22"

(I use fvwm and can use F22 in the config like so:
	Key F22         A       N       Popup "Window Ops"
).
