I have the same problem on my laptop ACER 1705 trying to map the
unrecognized media keys.

I tried to map 2 keys to 'F21' and 'F22' using xmodmap. 
This works ok and 'xev' confirm that. 

Then I am able to map those keys in 'Preferences/Keyoard_Shortcuts' or in 
compiz 'ccsm'. 
Everything works until I restart X or reboot. 
(I tried running the xmodmap association script in the session startup; in 
gdm/Init; in gdm/Postlogin; in gdm/Presession)

After X_restart or reboot, the keys are still correctly recognised by
'xev' but the shortcut associations do not work anymore.

Looking in 'Preferences/Keyoard_Shortcuts' the mapping is still there, but it 
seems to be ignored. 
I have to disable the mapping,then set it back to 'F21' manually. After that, 
the shortcut works again. 

This bug might be related to Bug #289781.
