Bug Description

using an asus p5ql-em motherboard, upon resume from suspend in ubuntu jaunty x86 the shutdown dialog flashes/strobes and constantly steals focus. Its a very weird bug and the only way i have been able to solve it is forcibly kill hald-addon-input
exact details of kill:
hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event1 /dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event3 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event7
something is getting stuck on resume. from what i can remember this was a problem in hardy and intrepid also which was one of the reasons i upgraded from LTS.

steps to repeat:
using aforementioned hardware enter suspend using gnome power manager.
resume from suspend and unlock screen.
this is also present in hibernate too.

detailed hardware spec:
ubuntu jaunty x86
Q6600 2.4ghz
asus p5ql-em micro atx motherboard
nvidia 7600GT 256mb
various plugged in devices:
usb bluetooth adaptor
logitech webcam
usb keyboard and mouse

I have similar hardware and same problem.

If "System/Preferences/Power management/When button is pressed" is set to "Ask me" then the said dialog is blinking after resume. If I set this preference to "hibernate" then system hibernates immediately right after it resumed so I can not do anything.

It seems that power button press event is somehow saved in hibernated image and is processed only after system is restored.

(During hibernate and resume after 3 messages about my bluetooth device I see one about processing of some "soft IRQ" - that may be related to power button event)

Without bluetooth adapter this problem does not occur enumore. So I presume this is really a but with bluetooth adapter.
