eject hotkey doesn't work

[Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín]

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

The eject hotkey (Fn+F10) in my Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop doesn't work as expected.

When I press it in gnome-keybinding-properties, it behaves like it's constantly being pressed. That is, i can assign it (XF86Eject) to the Eject action by pressing Fn+F10, but then if I click in other action it automatically tries to assign the XF86Ejection shortcut. I've found that after pressing the Super (Windows) key, it stops acting like it's constantly being pressed.

Even if the XF86Eject shortcut is assigned to the Eject action, pressing Fn+F10 does nothing.
