[maemo-developers] How to disable hardware keys at system level

[From: Tomàs Jiménez Lozano]

Hi,

Is there any way to disable hw keys at system level so no keyboard event
is triggered when user presses them ?

What we are trying to achieve is some kind of kiosk mode. We launch
opera browser in fullscreen at startup and we don't want the user to be
able to minimize it by pressing the fullscreen toggling hw key.
As we can not modify opera browser's behaviour we are trying to prevent
the F6/GDK_F6 key event being fired.

We have found a "keybindings" GConf schema
(at /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/system/osso/af/keybindings/)
with a detailed description of hw keys behaviour. We've tried to modify
it but with no results. Is GConf used to somehow store HwKeys
configuration? Can we modify it to change default behaviour?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Tomàs Jiménez
