This fixes the issue for the first time that I press the key. The first time that the hotkey is pressed I get a notification of the power left etc. as I should. If I press it again then I don't get anything occur.
According to Matthew Garrett: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339110
"Dell hardware is stupid(tm). Pressing the key once generates a key down event.
Pressing it again generates a key repeat event. There's never a key up event.
I'm looking at fixing this in the kernel. It's not a hal or g-p-m bug."
Let's consider this fixed and I'll file another bug about Dell's hardware.
