Thanks Tim for fixing it, I can confirm that shortcuts now work fine in GNOME Flashback session.

William has filed a MP against gnome-settings-daemon (lp:~attente/gnome-settings-daemon/non-latin-media-keys), that touches the same file (gsd-media-keys-manager.c), your changes don't conflict so I think it will make sense to upload both at the same time.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-settings-daemon - 3.8.5-0ubuntu7

Verified to work on my system running gnome-session-flashback. Both media keys and ctrl+alt+t to open new terminals behave as expected now.

Doesn't seems to work on my Openbox session :(

None of the shortcuts or media key works now.

I haven't heard anything bad about the fix in Trusty, so let's try to give it to Saucy users too. Uploaded a fix for non-{panel,unity,shell} environments to saucy-proposed.

Hello Tim, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-settings-daemon into saucy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/3.8.5-0ubuntu11.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Could someone on 13.10 running one of the environments targeted by this fix please try it out and confirm whether it works or not?

Can confirm that this takes play/pause and volume from not working to working under xmonad.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gnome-settings-daemon has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-settings-daemon - 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.2

gnome-settings-daemon (3.8.5-0ubuntu11.2) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/fix_media_keys_on_unity.patch: Another reworking. Try to
    start the legacy keygrabber all the time. Only don't if we're running
    shell. Should fix keygrabber in environments without panel or Unity. (LP:
    #1235625)

Hey guys, it looks like in Utopic the legacy keygrabber has been gutted entirely. What should we do now if we run an alternate window manager?

Edward,
    Sessions that require the legacy keygrabber should be using unity-settings-daemon which does have that still (it was forked from gnome-settings-daemon 3.8)
