Laptop Fn key causes X (Gnome 2) to sleep immediately

[Matthias Petermann]

Hi,

a short update on this. I just found out: at least in Gnome 2 the 
behavior can be prevented by using the gconf-settings tool, changing the 
value of the key "/apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/suspend" from 
"suspend" to "nothing". Seems like some ubuntu users had the same issue 
as I found the workaround there.

Kind regards,
Matthias
