Title:
  [hardy] gnome-screensaver blocks multimedia keys

Status in GNOME Screensaver:
  In Progress
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  In Hardy (posibly in others too), when gnome-screensaver turns on, it blocks the volume up/down, play/pause and mute keys.
  Maybe it'd be a good idea not to block those specific keys, so that people who are listening to music with the screen powered off don't need to enter their password just to use them.

  Steps to reproduce.
  1- Turn on gnome-screensaver, and select the "Lock screen when screensaver is active" option.
  2- Start rhythmbox and play some music.
  3- Wait for the screensaver to appear.
  4- Press any of those multimedia keys.
