Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.8.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental patch

Hi,

  Some multimedia actions didn't work because ``show pointer location'' was
  turned on. After some research it turned out that the key filter in
  gnome-settings-mouse.c used XUngrabKeyboard, which releases all the queued
  events. Among those events there where some KeyRelease events, which
  normally trigger multimedia actions..

  Attached is an updated 09_locate_pointer.patch, which removes the
  XUngrabKeyboard call.
