I have 3 Thinkpad's, not you model but I don't have your problem, yes I 
know that does not help, maybe the problem is the desktop, I don't know, 
but while googling I found this
 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Button and maybe it will help 
or maybe someone else will chime in and can get you going.

Good luck,
