[PATCH] Can leave volume handling to desktop environment

[Tomaz Solc]

If gnome-settings-daemon is running or if user has specifically
requested this in /etc/defaults/eeepc-acpi-scripts, events generated
by volume hotkeys are simply translated to proper key presses
with acpi_fakekey.

Note that this requires acpi_fakekey tool and
/usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants to be present on the system.

+If you want to leave volume management to any desktop environment you might
+be running, set HANDLE_VOLUME to 0.

 To get nifty osd overlays on changing the volume, switching on wireless
 etc. change ENABLE_OSD to yes in /etc/default/eeepc-acpi-scripts. Make sure you
 have aosd-cat installed then.
