I can confirm this in Gutsy most recent update (I used the "Report a
Problem" menu so details should be attached). Whether using Compiz or in
Metacity, if I have Rhythmbox as the active window and I use the FN
volume keys or the laptop's frontal volume hotkeys to change the volume,

NOTE: I'm not sure what this bug did in the past, but currently it only
makes Rhythmbox (and any other applications I switch to) hang for about
20 seconds. When I test this in Compiz, the Rhythmbox window fades dark
to indicate nonresponsiveness. Then after 20 seconds or so it returns to
normal. As mentioned above, using sliders to change volume works fine.
The FN volume keys also work fine AS LONG AS Rhythmbox is not the active
window, or if I am switched to another desktop.

I'm running an Inspiron  1520. My device DB key is
<8571d049b59a4f8a891c8a773a3b16e1>. I hope this info helps. It would
make sense to me if it were an issue with GTK, but on the other hand
I've only ever seen this happen with Rhythmbox.
