Title:
  Launch1 button doesn't work on shortcuts

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hardware: Thinkpad X230, but seemingly all Thinkpads.

  (Apologies if this is mis-characterized as a Unity bug - not sure
  where to put it)

  The special Thinkpad button, often called "ThinkVantage" button, used
  to work fine for keyboard shortcuts in 12.04, as configured in the
  keyboard settings panel.

  In 14.04 it is possible to assign it to a shortcut in the keyboard
  settings dialog, where it shows up as Launch1, but it doesn't work -
  they shortcut is not activated by hitting that key.

  The key appears to get through to the desktop and apps, because if I
  hit it while Emacs has focus it complains that nothing is assigned to
  XF86Launch1 (in 12.04 the key didn't get through to Emacs and there
  was no problem)

  Discussion of this, including some other's outputs, is here:
