[LUG] Re-enabling touchpad brings up help!

 
Hi all,

This is really odd.  On my laptop (HP G6092EA) there's a little button
to disable the touchpad.  It's very handy for when you have a USB mouse
attached.  Annoyingly, however, is than when you press the button again
to re-enable the touchpad it opens tonnes of Gnome help pages.  Under
KDE (4.0) everything is fine.

'dmesg' gave the following:
[ 3105.418771] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code
0xd8 on isa0060/serio0). [ 3105.418777] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e058

XEV reports the following:

KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x1a6, subw 0x2e00002, time 6992967, (37,33), root:(42,58),

Any thoughts why it does this, or what to do to prevent it?

Cheers.
Grant.
