[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Question about intercepting the HOME button

Hi maemo hackers.

I want to handle HOME button event and CONSUME it.

I tried hacking HildonAppView to not register a gtk key event snooper to 
handle the HOME key (which seems to be an alias for GDK_F5)

This didnt work.  The app no longer handles the HOME key event but some 
other process does.

It seems the maemo_af_desktop process is catching this event somewhere 
else and doing its thing.

So my question is where is the code in maemo_af_desktop that catches the 
GDK_F5 and turns into some kind of message so that I can comment it out 
?

thanks.
