Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

When I launch Totem (Sound & Video -> Movie Player), I get an error
dialog titled "Plugin Error", Unable to activate plugin Media Player
Keys.

This error occurs on my Ubuntu Gutsy laptop, but not on my Ubuntu Gutsy
desktop, so I suspect this is because my laptop has media keys for Play,
Rewind, etc.

When I launch Totem from a terminal, I am shown:
** (totem:7726): WARNING **: Error connecting to D-Bus: Failed to connect to 
socket /tmp/dbus-1uPADrPwcO: Connection refused

** (totem:7726): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session bus:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-1uPADrPwcO: Connection refused

After I click OK to dismiss the dialog, Totem plays the media files
without any issue.

Suprisingly, the "Stop" media key does stop Totem during playback,
however other keys are either ignored or also do a "stop" but that may
be a symptom due to this plugin problem so I won't belabor about out.

Hardware: HP Pavilion zx5000 (zx5072CL) 
Ubuntu 7.10 i386 release
