[Bug 550979] [NEW] Volume inc/decrease by function buttons makes menu and keyboard crash - Dell Studio 15

[pippom77]

Public bug reported:

When using Volume function buttons on Dell Studio 15, the volume start increasing to maximum or decreasing to minimum.
Then menus on the upper and lower bar become unusable and it is impossible to use the keyboard to input text: furthermore it is not possible to move windows (upper window bars get insensitive). 
Ctrl-alt-canc keeps working: this is the only way to reboot.
The kernel is Lucid Lynx beta 1; the computer is new, so I don't know if the bug affects other kernel versions.
