<br>Package: gnome-control-center<br>
Version: 1:2.18.1-1<br>
Severity: important<br>
<br>Upgraded to the latest Gnome Control Center today and found that the<br>
multimedia keys on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 9300) were not behaving as<br>
they were set up to do. While my personal xmodmap file is loaded<br>
properly on Gnome startup, the behaviour of the keys are quite<br>
arbitrary. While on occasion, xev shows that they have been mapped<br>
properly, only a few of them function:<br>
<br>
For example, I have mapped the volume keys through Gconf to use "amixer<br>
set PCM" etc., and the media keys to XF86AUDIO etc. If the media keys<br>
work, the volume keys don't, or vice versa.<br>
<br>
Also, sometimes xev shows no keycodes for any/all of the keys as<br>
displayed below:<br>
<br>
KeymapNotify event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x0,<br>
keys: 77 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br>
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0<br>
<br>
I can confirm that this behaviour only occurs in Gnome, or if using<br>
another window manager, after Gnome Settings Daemon is started.<br>
