Public bug reported:

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:
