In Konqueror, they don't work. Also, they're not configurable in the
"Configure Hotkeys" dialog of Konqeuror.

Any way I can fix this?

I think I heard somewhere this is a Qt limitation, i.e. there are a few
X keys that Qt doesn't "understand".

If you know the X keycodes (xev?) you might try googling for those and Qt.

If I click one of those buttons in KDE 4 applications, they are
"recognized". For example, clicking the "back" button over a text entry
widget, Qt changes focus to that widget. Or left-clicking a menu and
then "back"-clicking a menu item, activates that item. That means Qt
sees the buttons. And of course Qt is guaranteed to see the normal
mouse buttons (the scroll wheel for example; we know Qt supports it) but
I'm still not able to map the scroll wheel to anything in KDE's
"Configure shortcuts".
