Comment 21 for bug 278839

Hi Chris,

No problem. All the dedicated hotkeys work out of the box, except the stop playback key but it is reported separately (identified above)

The hotkeys to not emit key releases using xev.

When gnome-settings-daemon is killed, however, they do. These are the key releases generated under that circumstance:

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x2600002, time 533090, (58,34), root:(1069,725),
    state 0x0, keycode 121 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x2600002, time 538704, (58,34), root:(1069,725),
    state 0x0, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x2600001,
    root 0x13b, subw 0x2600002, time 543411, (58,34), root:(1069,725),
    state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Hope that helps,

Harv
