I think maybe there's several distinct bugs here.

On my Dell Inspiron 630m (From Australia, has US keyboard afaik), Fn+Esc
is also reported as XF86Mail rather than as the suspend key.  showkey at
a text vt says that Fn+Esc is keycode 142.  That's one bug.

I also have Mutt as my Mail Reader in the Preferred Applications in
Gnome.  If I set "Launch email client" to Ctrl+Alt+M (I usually have it
disabled) and then hit that key combo, I get a blank gnome-terminal and
a dialog saying "There was an error creating the child process for this
terminal".  That's a separate bug I think.

Finally, there's the bug that caused hitting suspend to try perform the
"Launch email client" action, which started affecting Mary today.  I
have no idea what might suddenly cause that.
