GDK (sometimes) strips the "XF86" prefix from keys

If compiz doesn't recognise the key, try with "XF86" prefixed, to keep compatible with GNOME/unity-control-center. See: https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/src/core/meta-accel-parse.c?id=8d29d22e991f8816f47529e366a947b3565993e8 (bzr r3875.1.1)
