Well the odd thing is that there is no keyboard at all attached,
either to the dock and the duo keyboard is disconnected. The problem
is semi-random. The dialog box pops up every 1-15 seconds or so,
entirely on random.
Maybe, I can get around the problem if there is a way to disable the
power key through software ?
