The bug affects Gnome 14.04 also. Just tried with a daily.

Yes, I can see that I still have gnome-settings-daemon 3.8 in Ubuntu
GNOME 14.04 Beta 1. Will this be the version of gnome-settings-daemon
shipping with release? Since the mic mute button works in Fedora 20,
Manjaro GNOME and Suse GMOME, all with newer gnome-settings-daemon I am
hoping Ubuntu GNOME will follow and not stick with the old version like
it looks like stock Ubuntu is doing.
