Bug Description

The laptop is a Compaq Presario 2190CA, AMD AthlonXP.

When I press the 'i' key on my laptop two things happen:
1. The battery icon (gnome-
2. Firefox opens.
When I try and assign this key using the Keyboard Shortcuts it displays "XF86Shop" as it's keycode.
This is fairly confusing as I have no apparent way of disabling the battery indication regardless of where I set the 'i' key in keyboard preferences.

Hello,
I have the same problem on my desktop pc. I have a generic keyboard model with code: SK-720H.
When I press the WWW button it opens Firefox but also shows the Power Information pop up saying 'Computer is running on AC power'. It only disappears after something like 15 seconds or when I click on it.
Trying to assign the key to a different function doesn't help either.
Hope this helps.
