Gaia handles the volume buttons and the back soft button when you release them rather than when you handle them. This is a recent change and I think it should be reverted.

The exception, however, is the home key. Since we're using a short press to show the homescreen and a long press to show the task manager (and we want to be able to show the task manager without first switching to the homescreen) this one button has to work on key up instead of key down. But I think all the others should change back to keydown.

@vingtetun and @jcarpenter, do you agree?
