Dmitry / Mauro,

I'm encouraged by all of the good dialog happening here,
and regret that I am unable to poke any further at the
issue with ir-keytable for now.

The system in question is now getting rebuilt with new/modern
userspace, and I expect the original issue to "vanish" as a result.
If I do see ir-keytable acting up again afterward,
I'll let you know.

But it will be whatever version Ubuntu 10.10 installs,
not the newer one I used earlier in this thread.

Cheers!
-Mark
