so I know now the keysym and I know its bind to XF86Launch1.  But how
do I find out how I can refer to this key within Xmonad?

Hi Thomas,
I have the follow bindings in my xmonad.hs for the multimedia
keys and the ThinkVantage key(Lenovo R61):
-------------------------8<------------------------------
-- multimedia keys
    -- XF86AudioLowerVolume
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff13), spawn "volume-louder")
    -- XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff11), spawn "volume-quieter")
    -- XF86AudioMute
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff12), spawn "volume-mute")
    -- XF86AudioMicMute
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff41), spawn "volume-mic-mute")
    -- XF86AudioNext
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff17), spawn "player-next")
    -- XF86AudioPrev
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff16), spawn "player-prev")
    -- XF86AudioPlay
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff14), spawn "player-start")
    -- XF86AudioStop
    , ((0            , 0x1008ff15), spawn "player-stop")

It works fine for me, as you can see, I use "0x1008ff41" keysym
directly.
Cheers,
Sergey
Thanks so much Sergey.  I didn't know you could just use the keysym
directly.  That's great and it works!!  Thanks again,
