Brilliant! Thanks so much for posting this. I'll try this later today.

Frankly, I don't understand how Canonical could have released hardy without
some obvious way to control this. Sure, the laptop is usable, but it's
usable in the same intensely frustrating way that it would be usable if it
were running Windows. In other words: it works, but it's anything but a
pleasure to use.
