Default logitech kbd "calculator" button?

Hi,
I just got a new keyboard (logitech deluxe 650 cordless desktop) that works
fine and comes with 3 buttons with icons for:

mail
home
calculator

the first 2 work fine. [mail] launches a new kmail message window
[home] opens konqueror (although in browser mode), but [calculator does
nothing...

Any ideas of what needs to be done to launch, for example kcalc with this
button?
Since I imagine that these keyboards are made with windoze in mind, I
naively :-/ created a symbolic like from calc to kcalc, but this does not
work either. I have no idea how the key buttons target an application.
Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

-G-
