Comment 2 for bug 614850

My DE is compiz and gtk stuff, but not exactly gnome, and I don't have gnome-settings-daemon installed. I for one would appreciate a fallback DE-agnostic system. python-keybinder is easy to use. Something like:

import keybinder
keybinder.bind('XF86AudioPlay', play_method, None)
keybinder.bind('XF86AudioStop', stop_method, None)
keybinder.bind('XF86AudioNext', skip_method, None)
