This is great! :-D
I've already forgotten this part of my laptop's functionality but now 
I'm getting excited about it again. ;-)

Well, not everything works out of the box but it's a good place to 
start.  Btw, don't you want to create a port of this ?? :o)

I'm already thinking of ways to improve the script.  First, I want to 
add support for extra keys my laptop has got.  Then I'd like to factor 
the settings out so that users don't have to edit the script in order to 
change desired behaviour.  /Also, for instance, main volume control does 
not work everywhere and therefore it is likely to be needed redefined./

Cheers! :-)
