[Bug 281284] Re: No function keys for sleep and hibernation in Kubuntu on Thinkpad

[Tillmann Falck]

Putting the attached script in .kde/Autostart (or just running it
manually) activates most of the missing hotkeys on my thinkpad. In
particular it supports

* lock screen
* suspend
* hibernate
* toggle screen
* undock
* battery information

I have used the script for a month now and for me it works. It should
not be limited to thinkpads but support all laptops that generate the
corresponding key press events. Most functionality is accessed via dbus
either using HAL or KDE services.

It depends on python2.6 (could be easily backported to 2.5), python-dbus
and python-xlib.
