Uploaded to saucy-proposed. It'll probably miss the release but should
get in as a stable update, hopefully.
** Description changed:
+ [ Description ]
+
+ gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu7 used the presence of
+ org.gnome.ScreenSaver on the session bus to decide whether to activate
+ the media keys plugin (used for volume up/down, skipping tracks,
+ brightness and so on).
+
+ This package is only a Recommends of ubuntu-desktop. It's an undeclared
+ dependency which isn't actually necessary.
+
+ [ Proposed fix ]
+
+ Check for org.gnome.Panel (for gnome-panel environments) and
+ com.canonical.Unity (for Unity environments). Unity also provides
+ org.gnome.Shell so check $DESKTOP_SESSION in that handler to only run in
+ a real gnome-shell session.
+
+ [ Test case ]
+
+ Remove the gnome-screensaver package. In a gnome-panel based or a Unity
+ session, launch gnome-settings-daemon. Make sure your media keys work
+ with the update.
+
+ [ Regression potential ]
+
+ This changes activation of a plugin. There's a chance it could be wrong.
+
+ If it doesn't work, make sure the plugin is enabled:
+
+ $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys active
+
+ and then run
+
+ $ gnome-settings-daemon --debug --replace | tee /tmp/g-s-d.log
+
+ wait 5 seconds, try pressing some media keys, then attach /tmp/g-s-d.log
+
+ [ Original report ]
+
With the latest g-s-d any custom key-bindings fail as do some 'default* ones
(system
Test cases -

change Log out to a new binding
log out/in thru indicator-session
Try the new binding, nothing happens
open keyboard panel > shortcuts> custom
