Steve, you're right, I just tried the Gnome Jaunty alpha 3 live CD and
it responds to the keys.

Testing from Gnome Jaunty alpha 3 live CD:

volume and mute keys: no OSD. OSD for brightness keys is ok.
fn-f4: suspends, but on resume suspends again immediately (!), on resume 
suspends again immediately. Third resume is ok. Selecting suspend from the 
shutdown menu works ok, so this is some problem specifically related to using 
fn-f4. 
fn-f7: crashes gnome settings daemon. Error in log "gnome-settings .. segfault 
at ... error 4 in libxrandr.so"
fn-f12: brings up message that hibernate is disabled, presumably because not 
everyone has a swap partition

I haven't done a full install+upgrade, so it's possible these bugs have
since been fixed. I will check if I have time, if not I will re-try with
the Jaunty alpha 4 live CD.

btw, I didn't need to configure resume from hibernate in Ubuntu - it
worked out of the box. AFAIK you only need a swap partition.

The fact that fn-f4 and fn-f12 aren't recognised in KDE seems to be
Kubuntu specific. Probably bug #281284 - no power management installed.
