[Bug 751610] Re: "Listen to Music" shortcut loads Totem and not Banshee

[Iain Lane]

I don't know if we can handle the case of users who have manually set
the key to banshee-1 themselves: the GConf defaults provide system
defaults that users can override if they wish. On my system (which has
used the default):

laney at chicken> gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/applications/media/exec
banshee

as per-user GConf settings are stored in the home directory, I don't see
how we can fix this for them nicely.

We've pinged upstream for a solution, and one grubby idea I have is for
banshee to supply a 'banshee-1.desktop' file with NoDisplay=true that
should still work for users that have set banshee-1 as their handler.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  The "Listen to Music" shortcut loads Totem by default, not Banshee
  which is Natty's default music player. Totem is a movie player (and is
  labeled as such) and should not be used as default for the "Listen to
  Music" shortcut.
