Yes, this information might not be as useful on Linux as it is for the
Windows situation.  On Windows, the WMI event doesn't translate directly
into a key, but rather a userspace application makes the changes.  As it
stands right now, the keys still don't do anything with my patch(s). 
They're at least documented however in case someone would like to change
this behavior at some point.
