Please don't fix this in OO!

There are so many programs out there with the exact same sort of problem. Keybindings being catched, not even used sometimes, and the default gnome-behaviour isn't executed.

Please make the gnome-session deamon (or whatever is responsible for catching the keys) enforce it's bindings.
If the default bindings overlap with any program, than _thats_ a bug we can and should fix in that particular program.

Examples of places where this is all an issue:
  - All SDL apps (try changing the volume, switching desktops, etc.)
  - Full-screen flash (it leaves fullscreen because somehow it received a keypress intended for gnome)

Just being able to use my volume keys everywhere; when playing a game; when watching youtube fullscreen, would be so brilliant.

And it is possible: control+alt+f1/f2/etc. always work.
So why not for all other gnome-bindings?
