I just had a think about this, and if this really is just caused by HAL
relaying a signal from the same /dev/input/eventX device that the X
server already grabbed, then perhaps a slightly longer-term solution
would be a hal-info rule to stop hald-addon-input from monitoring evdev
devices (or any device with a 'input.x11_driver' property, if possible),
which we know will be grabbed by Xorg anyway? The reason is that this
problem could easily affect other hotkeys, eg brightness.

As an example, on my desktop the power button isn't grabbed by Xorg, and
has no input.x11_driver property in HAL so I want HAL to relay signals
from this device (which it does). But I don't want HAL to relay signals
from any hotkeys on my keyboard, which have a input.x11_driver property.

What do you think? Could you think of any issues with doing something
like that?
