But the benefits of such a feature is that I would be able to change the volume of the music playing, or pausing an internet radio feed using my remote, even when the screensaver is running.

Bug#439844: gnome-screensaver: Feature request: React on media keys
Package: gnome-screensaver Version: 2.18.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hi, It would be nice if Gnome-screensaver would pass keypresses for media keys (volume, mute) on to the underlying system that handles those events (gstreamer?). As it seems all keyboard input gets grabbed and not handled by the window manager (which I suppose normally handles this). I realize a feature like this could be considered a security risk, as there is a possibility to interact with the users session. But the benefits of such a feature is that I would be able to change the volume of the music playing, or pausing an internet radio feed using my remote, even when the screensaver is running.
