I'll file a bug as soon as I figure out the exact component. It is definetly 
gnome though.
1) acpi-support daemon is catching the acpi event and running the eject.bn 
which does   acpi_fakekey
2) when I try to run acpi_fakekey (with the eject key parm) as root .. gnome 
does nothing
3) acpi_fakekey isn't broken because running "acpi_fakey 2" puts a "1" in my 
terminal terminal window (this is equivalent of pressing the 1 key on the 
keyboard).

Anyone with a laptop or is using acpi events that then use acpi_fakekey
are going to see this. Now it's a matter of what in Gnome regressed to
cause it not to pick up certain special keys.
