Yes, this is why I mentioned using kevent and dbus before... Could it be the righter answer?
I think it makes sense for atkbd and usb hid power and sleep buttons to be treated like all other keys on those keyboard types. As a result, I think it makes sense for ACPI keys to behave in the same way. I wrote an addon for hal to take input events and put them on the system dbus some time ago, so that's already a solved problem.
