[ltp] Undocking?

Hi,

When I press the undock button on my Advanced Mini-Dock, /var/log/acpid shows:

[Mon Aug 21 16:32:20 2006] received event "ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001"
[Mon Aug 21 16:32:20 2006] notifying client 4776[0:0]
[Mon Aug 21 16:32:20 2006] notifying client 4813[108:108]
[Mon Aug 21 16:32:20 2006] completed event "ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001"

So the computer is listening to the button.  But how can I tell if it's doing
anything sensible in response?  And if it's not, how do I make it safe to eject
the machine from the dock?

I'm on ubuntu/dapper.

Many thanks in advance,
