Bug Description

Dear all,

Let me share a feature request with you.

Frequently, I start listening to music in Rhythmbox and then use FN + F3 on my keyboard to activate the lockscreen screensaver because it switches of my screen after a few seconds and thus saves conserves energy on my laptop.

However, once the screensaver is active, I cannot any longer access my media player using my hotkeys FN + F10 (backwards), FN + F11 (play/pause) and FN + F12 (forward).

Would it be possible to keep access to these media player hotkeys with the screensaver lock screen being enabled?

Thankfully,

~Robert
