Sorry, a bit off topic, but I was hoping someone here may actually
have some experience with this. I'm running opensuse 10.2 on my Ultra
40 workstation. One fun feature is that when you press the
sleep/suspend key on the keyboard, it instantly sends a shutdown
command. No confirmation or anything. Since I usually only press
this key by accident, it can be quite annoying. After finding that
keycode with xev (which I had to read quickly as it was busily
shutting me down), I mapped the keycode to something else. All that
does is perform the new function to which I've mapped that key at the
same time it's throwing the shutdown sequence.

By chance does anyone here know how to trap this event?

No replies to my posts in the suse mailing list of course.
