Gnome 2.26 + Thinkpad T43 + ACPI-Keys

Hello to the list,

with Gnome 2.26 installed from the ports I have some weird problems with 
the IBM-Thinkpad ACPI keys:

When working with Gnome Desktop:
(*) Pressing <FN> -> suspend (incorrect)
(*) Pressing <FN> when in suspend mode -> resume (correct)
(*) Pressing <FN> + <F4> -> suspend (correct)

When working in textmode all buttons call the correct modes:
(*) Pressing <FN> when on console -> nothing happens (correct)
(*) Pressing <FN> when in suspend mode -> resume (correct)
(*) Pressing <FN> + <F4> -> suspend (correct)

Where can I stop that weird behavior when working with Gnome? Which 
keyboard layout must I select? Are there any FDIs to change that?

Many thanks for your answers.

Best regards

Juergen
