[Bug 1235625] Re: fix legacy keygrabber for gnome-ish sessions

[Iain Lane]

** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Saucy)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ [ Description ]
+ 
+ In Saucy, media keys in gnome-ish (using gnome-settings-daemon) sessions
+ only work when gnome-panel or Unity are in use, as the code path checks
+ for their names on the bus. They ought to work for all sessions.
+ 
+ [ Fix ]
+ 
+ Change the logic so that the keygrabber is started all the time except
+ under Shell sessions.
+ 
+ [ QA ]
+ 
+ In a session that runs gnome-settings-daemon but neither panel nor shell
+ (xfce or Openbox? or a custom xmonad), check that media keys now work.
+ 
+ [ Regression potential ]
+ 
+ Changes activation criteria for the legacy keygrabber. Check it still
+ works in Unity, panel and that the new method works under shell.
+ 
+ [ Original report ]
+ 
  The previous patch to fix the legacy keygrabber was Unity specific and
  breaks on gnome-ish sessions that require it, instead we should load the
  legacy keygrabber for any session that is not gnome-shell

  In Saucy, media keys in gnome-ish (using gnome-settings-daemon)
  sessions only work when gnome-panel or Unity are in use, as the code
  path checks for their names on the bus. They ought to work for all
  sessions.

  [ Fix ]

  Change the logic so that the keygrabber is started all the time except
  under Shell sessions.

  [ QA ]

  In a session that runs gnome-settings-daemon but neither panel nor
  shell (xfce or Openbox? or a custom xmonad), check that media keys now
  work.

  [ Regression potential ]

  Changes activation criteria for the legacy keygrabber. Check it still
  works in Unity, panel and that the new method works under shell.
