Comment 43 for bug 182704

I've tested it myself, and get the same results. I believe the problem
here is no longer with gnome-settings-daemon not listening for the
keys.. but more of a communication problem between gnome-settings-daemon
and whatever music player we're using. I've tried Exaile and Amarok
(with the gnome multimedia keys script) and both don't work.
