Bug Description
When using Volume function buttons on Dell Studio 15, the volume start increasing to maximum or decreasing to minimum.
Then menus on the upper and lower bar become unusable and it is impossible to use the keyboard to input text: furthermore it is not possible to move windows (upper window bars get insensitive).
Ctrl-alt-canc keeps working: this is the only way to reboot.
The kernel is Lucid Lynx beta 1; the computer is new, so I don't know if the bug affects other kernel versions.

I experience the same problem on the same Dell Studio 1558 model.
The problem still occurs in 2.6.32-19-generic #28~pre1 SMP Wed Mar 31 14:57:35 UTC 2010 x86_64.
More recovery notes: after getting into the bad state, you can regain a working desktop by switching to Ctrl-Alt-F1 then back to Ctrl-Alt-F7 again (note that on this Dell model, you might actually need to press Ctrl-Fn-Alt to enable the "regular" numbered F-key functionality, depending on BIOS configuration).
