Fabio: notification were originally working because each time you pressed a key, it was handled both through hardware and software, which meant that it was as if you had pressed the key twice. To correct that problem, software handling of those keys was removed for the ThinkPads. However, because the notifications were handled by the software handler, a side effect of this was that notifications were lost. What really needs to be done is to enable notification on hardware events.

I'll mark the bug as confirmed as the thread above shows that a number of people have reported it. In terms of resolving it, I am happy to make code changes and test patches on my Jaunty install if that can help.
