Description of problem:
When I wanted to "pause" a song in Fedora 15, I pressed the XF86AudioPlay key.
In Clementine on Fedora 16 : multimedia keys don't work anymore (Play, Pause, Next, Previous, etc.).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clementine-0.7.1-2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a normal user session in Gnome3 (Gnome-Shell)
2. Open Clementine
3. try to start playing via the XF86AudioPlay key
  
Actual results:
A dark OSD square appears displaying a circle with an oblic bar, like a "forbidden" road sign. And Clementine doesn't start playing.

Expected results:
Clementine should start playing a song.

Additional info:
When I open Rhytmbox all the Multimedia keys are working.

I tried to open Rhytmbox AND Clementine : Multimedia keys work for both players (a song is played/paused/stopped/next/forward on each player at the same time).
Then I closed Rhytmbox and Multimedia keys stopped working in Clementine, displaying the "forbidden" OSD sign.


I tried to change the "global shortcuts" configuration in Clementine (tools->preferences) :
- when I click on the button "Open" (global Gnome shortcuts), it says : "gnome-keybinding-properties" command can not be started,
- when I uncheck "use Gnome shortcuts" I should be able to choose a key for each command :
i.e. I choosed to associate XF86AudioPlay key to Clementine's "Play/Pause" action, but it doesn't work : the key presses are somehow captured by Gnome before they get to Clementine, so I connot set this key as a shortcut.

I tried to configure the shortcuts adding Ctrl : Ctrl+XF86AudioPlay works OK.

Next, previous, etc. keys also work OK when defined with Ctrl key in Clementine's global shortcuts key and "use Gnome shortcuts" is unchecked.

Bye for now

Ok,

I restarted Gnome Shell (Alt+F2 then "r") and now Global Gnome Shortcuts work again.

So it seems that Gnome Shell failed at some point.

I guess the problem is solved on Clementine's side and that it's a Gnome Shell problem.

Closing this bug.
Bye for now,
Dag
