Hey guys, it looks like in Utopic the legacy keygrabber has been gutted
entirely. What should we do now if we run an alternate window manager?

Title:
  fix legacy keygrabber for gnome-ish sessions

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ 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
