Bug Description

On my Dell laptop, which was fresh-installed with Xubuntu 11.10 and upgraded to 12.04, the official Ubuntu version of Clementine ignores the multimedia keys. The PPA version in http://ppa.launchpad.net/me-davidsansome/clementine/ubuntu responds as expected to the play/pause, stop, and skip buttons on this laptop. Update manager keeps wanting to replace the working PPA version with the broken official version, though.

The media control keys worked in 11.10 official version, I think, but I used a PPA version after a while there too because it had other problems.

Me too.
I use the Kubuntu 12.4 release repositories.

I tried disassigning the global hotkeys away from amarok and did make custom hotkeys to the clementine dbus calls.
But Dbus browser tells me it cant find the listed methods in /player in interface org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer. org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.clementine entrys are also not usable.
