Bug#619716: gnome-settings-daemon: commands in media-keys plugin should not be hardcoded

[Stefan Gursky]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.30.2-2
Severity: wishlist

I have key on my keyboard that launches calculator, so I had that set in
gnome-keybinding-properties. Then I decided, that I do not want to run
gcalctool as calculator, but speedcrunch. However there was no setting, what
to run.

gcalctool is hardcoded as calculator in plugins/mediakeys:

case CALCULATOR_KEY:
                execute (manager, "gcalctool", FALSE, FALSE);
                break;

However I think it should be possible to change it (for example in
"gnome-default-applications-properties").  It is possible to change mail
client or terminal emulator -- why not calculator?
