Egbert,
the behavior (that Fn emits the WakeUp scancode) is what the hardware does.
This is used by the BIOS to wake up from suspend to ram, for example. Simply
tap Fn, and the machine wakes up.
Mapping it to Menu might have seemed useful, but it's really unexpected for
users, so I agree with you that we shouldn't do it.
In my opinion, it should deliver the WakeUp scancode/keycode/keysym all the way
through the system, because that's what the manufacturer of the machine
intended the key to generate, and it's harmless, too.
Stefan,
yes, removing your patch fixes the problem. They key is dead - can't be mapped
to anything in a desktop environment after that, though. I'd like it to really
send the WakeUp keysym instead of Menu.
