[Bug 1399132] [NEW] Media keys can't be assigned

 

Public bug reported:

When I use unity-settings-daemon (All Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts)
to assign a media key to a command, the command won't run.

For example, the built in "Launch calculator" command shows the
"Calculator" key assigned by default. It works correctly and the value
in dconf Editor is "XF86Calculator". If I reassign the key by pressing
the calculator key on my keyboard, unity-settings-daemon will still show
the assigned key as "Calculator" and dconf Editor now also shows the
value as "Calculator". The shortcut will not work until I manually edit
the value in dconf Editor to say "XF86Calculator".
