Public bug reported: I have an USB "handset" (it's a "voip phone": an USB soundcard with some keys for dialing), which works fine in Windows.
In Linux however, only the sound part works correctly. I get the popup, and playing sounds works correctly. The 'hid' driver also recognises _something_ HIDish is being connected, but pressing keys on the device (numbers, or the 'mute', 'call' etc. buttons) doesn't result in events from the /dev/input/event<x>.
