I went back to see the old thread about dell-rbtn and apparently I was
aware of this problem [1]. So yes, I confirm the bug.

We are assuming that RBTN receives notifications only when a button
function keys are pressed, but this is true only for some laptops, while
others, such as my XPS13, send a notification also on resume [2].
This makes things a bit more complicated.

CCed Alex since he might be interested in this.
