Bug Description

Since upgrading to 12.04 the media control keys (like play, stop, forward, rewind) on my keyboard (logitech mx3000) no longer get passed through to audacious.
Instead something resambling a "forbidden" symbol appears on the bottom of the screen.
Worked just fine in 11.10.
Still working with rhythmbox, so i guess gnome does not accept audacious as a media player anymore?

Seems i have to manually enable "global hotkey" or "gnome-shortcuts" plugin.
This should be enabled by default and most definitely not get disabled during upgrade.

This should be enabled by default.
