Confirmed on my Dell mini10v. This is a serious accessibility regression. We must be mindful at all times of our users who cannot use a mouse due to physical limitations. (not to mention netbook users). Please fix this asap.

The applet isn't what is handling keyboard shortcuts for raising and
lowering volume. That is handled by gnome-settings-daemon. This might
be an issue with some of the packaging. Do you have:

  /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0/libsound.so

That I believe is the module that handles those keys.

  affects ubuntu/gnome-settings-daemon

Ted,

I think they're referring to adjusting the slider in the new applet using the up/down keys on the keyboard (not the dedicated media keys). The dedicated media keys are handled by gnome-settings-daemon, and are currently working fine (this hasn't really changed much in Lucid).

Please correct me if I've misunderstood this though

for the first release of this applet, some of the GUI features have yet to be implemented. Started on these features this week.

the issue is not a gsd one

Yes this is what i have filed the bug about.
not keyboard multimedia keys.

In response to ted and tpgraveen, the bug I confirmed was adjusting the slider.

To Conor, great to hear. Really nice job so far, a great contribution!
