Bug Description
On a new Thinkpad T43, there are keys that are intended to go back and forward
in web browsers. They do not appear do have any effect whatsoever in any Ubuntu
application (certainly not Firefox). There is also no way to configure them to
work in the keyboard preferences dialog.

We talked about this some time ago...on my T42 at least, it is possible to
assign actions to these keys in the GNOME shortcut preferences (they show up
with a numeric keycode), but the shortcuts simply do not work. Are you really
not able to set shortcuts at all?
