  Apple fn key behavior isn't consistent with what's expected

Bug description:
  Hi, this is a follow up to bug 162083.  With my newly functional FN
  key on my Aluminum BT keyboard, I realized that the default behavior
  on it doesn't make much sense with what users have come to expect on
  Linux systems.  The default behavior is that the "special keys", like
  f1-f2-f10-f11-etc all act "special" without pressing fn.  They then
  act normally when you hold FN.  This is the default behavior on Mac
  OSX, but on Linux the FN keys are more commonly used.  Eg, it's rather
  awkward to have to press ctrl-alt-fn-f1 to switch to a VT, or FN-F11
  to set a terminal full screen.
