Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Ubuntu 8.10, "Document Viewer 2.24.1"

I have certain keyboard shortcuts I set up in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts for controlling the media player (Ctrl+Alt+P = Play/Pause, Alt+Shift+RightArrow = Next Track, Alt+Shift+LeftArrow = Previous Track). Whenever I open a document in evince (mostly PDFs, but I don't think it matters), those shortcuts stop working until I de-iconify Rhythmbox (the media player) and re-iconify it.
Let me know if you think this is a Rhythmbox bug (although I don't see how it would be), so I can report it there.
The shortcuts are disabled even if I minimize evince or even if I'm on another desktop where there's no evince window.
