Despite the typo at the top, you're right, this "showstopper" has been
around since GNOME 2.6. It just didn't get discovered before.

Note to all. The multimedia (Play/Pause/Next/Forward/etc.) keys handling
sucks arse because the way acme worked is very different from the way
the gnome-settings-daemon does it. Handling of those keys has been
broken since acme was included in the control-center.
This shouldn't be a show-stopper, and I hope to get fixed some time in
the GNOME 2.12 development cycle (ie. I got my code started too late for
GNOME 2.10), sorry (well, it was either Play/Pause keys working, or a
movie player, and I know the one I'd rather see).
