Will the 'hal' bug #372874 see any love?

Fixing bug #372874 and enabling thinkpad_acpi hotkeys for brightness-keys DOES fix the brightness issue.
Brightness-notification will then be handled correctly by g-p-m!
Modprobe option to enable brightness hotkeys:
    options thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0x8dffff

The sound-notification is another story, and should be investigated further. HAL should be made aware whether sound-volume-buttons are hardwired or not.
Have a look at gnome-keybinding-properties, as the sound-volume acpi-events ends up here.

I do acknowledge your solution, but I still think Canonical should go for the long-term solution.
