Hi all,
Matt just uploaded a new gnome-power-manager which fixes Fn keys on
the ThinkPad T61:

The change itself is tiny, but it is well possible that it causes
regressions on other hardware. Anyone using laptops with intrepid, can
you please upgrade to this version, and check whether your Fn special
keys (battery state, suspend, backlight intensity, etc.) behave any
worse than before? If so, please report it here as a reply, and/or
file a bug against gnome-power-manager and subscribe "ubuntu-release".
Thank you!
Martin
