I encountered the same problems of losing my system wide hotkeys when upgrading to 2.6.29.
I created a small perl daemon that uses HAL to watch all available input devices and wait for certain key events. It's only a quick shot, but polishing it could yield a nice little tool to handle hotkeys in a global way instead of relying on the users window manager or desktop environment. I uploaded magmakey.pl along with an example configuration to my website at http://stefans.datenbruch.de/magmakey/ - feel free to see whether the script suits your needs; It needs some polishing though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
