Tested on Thinkpad X220T, using play/pause hotkey hangs session. However, brightness up/down hotkeys do nothing at all, if that's important.

@Will: Are you sure media-hub is running in this session and actually being utilized? Check in ~/.cache/upstart/media-hub.log (this log may be located elsewhere in Unity8 session on the desktop, I'm not entirely sure).

@Jim - media-hub packages were not installed (I don't think they are part of the seed).

Installing it via apt and rebooting has no effect on the hang.

Running media-hub-server from the terminal, and then pressing the play key, also hangs the session.
