Call for testing: power management related buttons/events

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

in Ubuntu 8.10 we added a patch to gnome-power-manager [1] to ignore
power management related hotkey events which came in in quick
succession; this caused effects like suspending immediately after
resuming [2].

I dropped the patch from the recent karmic upload of
gnome-power-manager. It is unclear whether this is still an issue in
the new world where we just read -evdev events instead of ACPI events
from hal, is pretty hackish, and it potentially leads to dropping
valid events. I discussed it with Richard Hughes, and he suggested to
try without the patch, and that he doesn't like to adopt it.

So I'd appreciate if folks could test version 2.27.2+git20090729 or
above in karmic and check if they still get the problem. Please report
back to me, or to the bug report [2], as you like.

Thank you in advance!

Martin
