Title:
fix legacy keygrabber for gnome-ish sessions
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Saucy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Description ]
In Saucy, media keys in gnome-ish (using gnome-settings-daemon)
sessions only work when gnome-panel or Unity are in use, as the code
path checks for their names on the bus. They ought to work for all
sessions.
[ Fix ]
Change the logic so that the keygrabber is started all the time except
under Shell sessions.
[ QA ]
In a session that runs gnome-settings-daemon but neither panel nor
shell (xfce or Openbox? or a custom xmonad), check that media keys now
work.
[ Regression potential ]
Changes activation criteria for the legacy keygrabber. Check it still
works in Unity, panel and that the new method works under shell.
[ Original report ]
The previous patch to fix the legacy keygrabber was Unity specific and
breaks on gnome-ish sessions that require it, instead we should load
the legacy keygrabber for any session that is not gnome-shell
