AFAIK, some PPC ThinkPads actually do (did?) exist.  There were a couple
of 8X0 models ten or so years ago.

But yep, I find it very unlikely that anyone really has one in the first
place.  Or if someone does, it being from the 10 years ago era, I'm
pretty sure it did not have any of the special buttons tpb is used for
anyway.

Ok.  Feel free to fix if you have time (eg. by disabling the xosd bmp
plugin on PPC if you don't have a better fix), or Bugzilla otherwise.
