here's two buttons that open menus; the home button (symbol is a house on the n800 and two overlapping boxes on the n810) and the menu button (a menu both on the n800 and the n810). > 2.

Both buttons are possible to detect, but you cannot override the home button from an application. > The reason I am asking this is because we have developed a full screen > program and a user can exit the program by pressing that special key, > and we would like to disable it. I suspect that the key you want to mask is the home-key. This home menu is global, and presses of the home key are signalled through D-Bus in addition to the normal way, to avoid forcing all apps to implement their own home-key menu handlers. The signal is sent by mce, and the easiest way to disable it permanently is to edit /etc/mce/mce.ini and remove "homekey;" from the Modules. Note that this will affect all uses of the home key, so don't do this on general purpose devices. There might be more fine-grained ways to disable it, but none that I know of. Hope this helps.
