xev correctly recognizes the buttons as XF86MonBrightnessDown and
XF86MonBrightnessUp.
In System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse the display brightness keys are
correctly recognized as brightness up and down when clicking "Custom
key" for a random action and pressing those buttons.
This means that X11 and Qt do know that the buttons are pressed.
Probably the bug is in KDE, then?
Btw, this is a regression from Kubuntu 9.10.
