DCOP commands do work perfectly.

Laptop does return the correct key codes.

NOTES:

a. I still have the *Feisty* kernel installed, and everything works
fine if I boot with it.

b. Using Gutsy's highest versioned kernel, I can change the brightness
using the PowerManager (from the battery icon in the panel), but the
brightness keys do /not/ work.

c. Installed your test binaries from
http://ppa.launchpad.net/lure/ubuntu, brightness keys still don't work
after a reboot.

HTH, and thanks a lot for looking into this problem
