[Bug 38954] Re: Multimedia keys don't work when not focused

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Nicolò:

I don't think the  Bastien (the GNOME developer) is wrong. The problem
is you have to work in all circumstances all of the time. It might not
matter to you that there would be a clash with rhythmbox but I use
rhythmbox and totem together a moderate amount so it would affect me.

If you are responding to global hotkeys you can't suddently switch to
local hotkeys mode when another app comes along without a lot of messy
code (and that only handles that one app. What happens when another one
comes along)?
