Launching "dbus-monitor --system" and pressing the button gives

In gnome-screensaver/src/gs-listener-dbus.c there is a hard-coded(!) handler for the "coffee" button which instruct gnome-screensaver (i.e. itself) to lock the screen. Apparently, unrelated buttons are mapped by HAL to the "coffee" button. E.g. I have the problem with my Cherry CyMotion master linux keyboard, when I press the "Copy" key.
