Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi-support
My thinkpad X40 has a blue "Access IBM" button above the keyboard which in previous Ubuntu releases I mapped to Lock Screen.
In hardy, the key event is not being detected by GNOME's Keyboard Shortcut preferences capplet.
acpid sees it:
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] received event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001018"
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] notifying client 11989[0:0]
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] notifying client 17907[110:122]
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] action exited with status 0
[Fri Mar 7 15:39:13 2008] completed event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001018"
So, acpid does basically this in this event:
sudo acpi_fakekey 148
REPRODUCE:
1. start "xev" (from x11-utils) in a shell/terminal
2. arrange the xev window and terminal so that you can see events from xev in the shell window
3. in another shell execute "sleep 10; sudo acpi_fakekey 148"
4. Move the mouse cursor/focus in the xev window
5. Check if a KeyPress and KeyRelease gets displayed when the acpi_fakekey gets executed

FWIW, the exact same behaviour can be seen with the blue ThinkVantage button on a Thinkpad X300 running hardy.
