multimedia keys configuration

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