Public bug reported:
Ever since I recently installed Kubuntu 18.10, using debootstrap and
`apt install kubuntu-desktop` method, upon reaching a desktop, the
multimedia keys on my Apple Wireless Keyboard do not have any effect on
anything.
The F3/Exposé key correctly triggers the window display mode, F10/Mute
toggles the sound mute, F11 and F12 correctly adjust the master volume
level.
F7, F8, and F9 have no multimedia control effect. Running `sudo showkey
-k` shows keycodes 165, 164, and 163 for the three keys, respectively.
`xev` does not report any media key activity for any of those three
keys, just focus in/out events on key down or up.

I expected the multimedia play/pause, forward, and backward keys to
control the current application appearing in the KDE/Plasma desktop
integration for sound control.
Currently, they have no control over any applications, whatsoever.
