Ah, that way round :). I already wondered...
If I only start fnfxd it works. If I start dbus/HAL it starts again
missing key presses and if I kill hald-addon-acpi-toshiba it works
again (although I got the impression not 100%). I moved
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-toshiba-buttons.fdi away and
restarted everything (dbus, HAL, fnfxd) and it works 100% again. Cool
:).

Of course. A simple fifo would be too easy ;).
So what should we do with this bug? Reassign it to hal? What does
hald-addon-acpi-toshiba do, anyway? Things like the power or the lid
button work without special Toshiba kernel module magic IIRC (and are
handled by acpid directly on my system), so I do not see a point in
shipping hald-addon-acpi-toshiba altogether. But of course I could be
mistaken.
Greetings and thanks again for the help,
