I've never used KDE (only GNOME briefly and xfce currently), so I
won't be able to help you on that route.  However, there are other
ways to get the ThinkVantage key to work.  Try this link:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_get_special_keys_to_work#acpi_fakekey
It actually takes you through the steps of mapping a keysym to the
Thinkpad key so you can actually use it to do stuff.
If you have any questions about the link, just post back and I'll try
to help as best as I can.

HTH,
