gnome-settings-daemon generates wrong notification for Thinklight toggle key (FN-PageUp)

[Vittorio Gambaletta (VittGam)]

The Thinklight toggle key combination is being seen by the Gnome Settings Daemon in Precise as a 'keyboard step down' key, thus triggering the wrong notification:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:5075): DEBUG: Updating client: index=27 name='ConsoleKit Session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session18'
(gnome-settings-daemon:5075): media-keys-plugin-DEBUG: Launching action for key type '52' (on device id 11)
(gnome-settings-daemon:5075): power-plugin-DEBUG: Calling method 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Keyboard.StepDown' for Power
(gnome-settings-daemon:5075): power-plugin-DEBUG: keyboard step down
(gnome-settings-daemon:5075): power-plugin-CRITICAL **: abs_to_percentage: assertion `max > min' failed

The thinkpad_acpi event for the Thinklight key combination is:
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001012

The right behaviour should be to not generate any notification for the Thinklight toggle, as in Oneiric, since the Thinklight is not a keyboard backlight, it doesn't have intensity levels (unlike the wrong notification suggests, by showing an always full bar even if the Thinklight has been switched off) and it doesn't make so much sense to have a notification for it.

This bug appeared after updating Oneiric to Precise.

I am seeing the message when I click on turn backlit key on and off (fn-key + key right on a Dell E4310)
