Ok, I don't know how to tell gnome not to use rythmbox as the default
music player, but I *DO* know how to add new keyboard shortcuts:

1. In gconf-editor, open up apps/metacity/global_keybindings
2. You will find entries there called run_command_1 through to
run_command_12.
3. Open one of those and type in a keyboard shortcut i.e.
"<Control><Alt>R"
4. open up apps/metacity/keybinding_commands
5. You will find command_1 through command_12, which magically
correspond to those other entries
6. Pick the matching entry, and enter the command to run (in this case
"xmms")

VIOLA!
