After upgrading to Isengard, one of the media key of my keyboard stopped working in Kodi.

The key is not recognized:

xev recognizes the key as Keycode 179 (keysym 0x1008ff81, XF86Tools).

Until recently, the same key used to map to launch_media_center action, so this keyboard.xml worked:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<launch_media_center>ActivateWindow(MyMusic)</launch_media_center>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>

Ubuntu 14.04.3 x86_64 (Kodibuntu)
Any help is appreciated.

Check that you don't have one or more overrides in your Ubuntu Systems Settings -> Keyboard Settings -> Media Keys

This is standalone Kodi, I don't have these settings at all. At least no UI for it. Any idea what is the location of the settings file?.

Good point! ... so probably not your issue here. Have you tried the Keymap Program Addon to add the missing key mapping? See http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Keymap_Editor
