Use xmodmap. Create an alternate xmodmap file with the keycodes of teh
keys you want to map. For example, to launch the Gnome menu with the
Windows key, I'd use something like 
keycode 115 =3D Super_L

Use xkeycaps or xev to get the control code for the keys you want to
change.
This could be helpful -

The f11 and f12 keys should be 0x57 and 0x58 respectively. 

Alternatively, try this(I dunno whether this will work :P)
Dump the default keymaps with dumpkeys -l and then edit
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard to your custom layout, something like
KEYTABLE="/etc/sysconfig/console/myKeymap"
