I rebuilt my .debs and reinstalled and the F-keys for music/audio are 
working now on my Macbook pro.

 The thing I don't understand is why this happened suddenly. I don't have
 any custom .xmodmap, if the problem is in the system one it should
 affect other Acer users running debian jessie as well.
 Is there anyone? :)

It could even be some other thing not mac related.

John

Not 100% sure, but I think that it will work if you have gnome-dbus running,
you can check what services gnome runs at startup to verify that. Then you can
configure e17 to run those via settings-apps-desktop environments-start
GNOME services on login.

Alternatively, you can define your own key bindings in e17 (settings-key
bindings).

Best,
