Have you tried editing /usr/share/inkscape/ui/keybindings.rc?
Bryce, the file to edit for remapping keys is called share/keys/default.xml. I'm not sure what the rc file is and whether it works at all, but in any case it's both a subset and a confusing duplication of keys/* files, and so I think it should be better removed.
(By the way, another annoying duplication is units.txt/xml. Bryce, can you please remove the one which is not enabled currently?)
However, while keys/default.xml file gives you a lot of freedom, you cannot assign just any action to any key, yet. This file only affects global actions. Some commands in Inkscape are not made global actions yet (such as centering) so you can't bind them to keys. All global actions (even those that are not assigned any keys by default) are listed in that file and can be reassigned. Read the comments in that file for more info.
