If they're not mapped to X keysyms, the shortcut editor likely has no
idea they're even being pressed.  Use the 'xev' app and see what happens
when you press keys.  If it just has a keycode but no associated keysym,
you'll need to create ~/.Xmodmap as Adriano points out in another email.

The "right" way to fix this is at the X configuration level, but that
requires a huge database of keyboard makes and models with mappings to
the proper keycodes and keysyms.  A bit out of Xfce's scope.  Not sure
if the Xorg folks are working on this.
