When I press Fn+Home on my Lenovo ThinkPad T61, I expect the brightness
to go up a step, and I expect the OSD to show that change.

What actually happens, is that the brightness goes up a step, the OSD
pops up, and then there's a pause of exactly 1 second, after which the
brightness goes up another step and the OSD hides.  If I hit Fn-Home a
few times, there's a 1 second pause between each step, which makes it
rather irritating when you want to go up from 50% to 100% or back.  Fn-
End, which reduces the brightness, has the same delay.

This is a regression since Hardy, where the volume keys worked fine with
no pauses.

It could be a duplicate of #286102, except that I don't see the OSD
reverting to a previous brightness level, and I haven't seen this bug in
Hardy.

Here's the other information requested in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch:

ThinkPad T61

The key that Fn-Home sends is XF86MonBrightnessUp, according to GNOME
key bindings preferences, and it appears after that 1 second pause.
(Fn-End sends XF86MonBrightnessDown).  /var/log/acpid doesn't show any
ACPI events being sent when I press those keys.
