Media keys on XFCE - Overclock.net

Anyone know how to enable support for media keys on XFCE?

Yes I do.
1: use xev to recognize media key codes
2: make a ~/.Xmodmap file like this:

Code:

keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume

3: add xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap to autorstarting apps

Found the answer earlier on the wiki. Seemed a bit tedious, but your post put it in perspective.

I have the volume keys working. Problem is that I have to press them a lot of times for the levels to change. Is there a way to change the amount each key press increase/decreases?
