Hi Dana,

As can be seen at the top of the bug report, the bug is marked as fix released
on all the affected packages. Could you test whether the bug still occurs with
the latest Ubuntu version?

If it does continue to occur, please include the following bits of information:
* the version of evince
* the version of gnome-settings-daemon
* what media player you are using
* the version of the media player you are using

Thank you.
