Use keyboard specific keys to set the volume

Description

At the moment we use F11 and F12 to change the volume. Those does match the keys on the XO. Would be nice to match as well other hardware keys.

There are the 'XF86Audio*' keys like 'XF86AudioLowerVolume'. Maybe we could just use those.

Yes, looks like GNOME uses those. The code is in the func do_sound_action in:

The mute one is not working here on my T61 - but it is not working on GNOME neither - maybe someone else has more luck.

And one for "Print' as well

We could as well map XF86Search - but i have no fancy keyboard to test it.
