There was a recent thread where we figured out this was due to
gnome-settings-daemon adding support for XF86XK_AudioMicMute in version
3.9.2 [1], while Trusty has on 3.8.

  [1] https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/3a8beaaf380a483ce33363031d8d276c371d7af1

After some googling I find
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/408903
which implies Ubuntu added a patch to handle that key to g-s-d 3.4, so
huh?  Maybe that patch used the old F20 keysym?  It's not present in the
3.8 debian/patches anyway.

(BTW the hardware sends F20, and g-s-d handled that as "mic mute" before
3.9; what happened in 3.9 was g-s-d also started handling
XF86XK_AudioMicMute since some distros -- Ubuntu included -- remapped
F20 to XF86XK_AudioMicMute).

given as a parameter.
