When audacious is started from the terminal, it prints the following message: $ audacious ** (audacious:8713): WARNING **: Could not grab media player keys: No such method `GrabMediaPlayerKeys' If relevant, I'm running on XFCE desktop and the latest & greatest Fedora updates-testing has to provide. audacious-3.0.4-1.fc16.x86_64
You can disable the GNOME Shortcuts plugin, if you don't run GNOME.
That did the trick. Changed to Global Shortcuts instead of the gnome ones. Haven't seen the preferences for a while I guess :) I guess as a user I'd love to see this 'trick' mentioned as a part of the error message, but given the severity, I don't mind if this gets closed as notabug. Thanks for the tip!
There's no guarantee all debug messages and warnings will stay forever or will be printed by default (rather than just when running "audacious -V"), so touching them to enhance them would be a questionable effort.
