How does unity work around gnome-settings-daemon dropping support for
media keys?

Does unity handle these keys itself now?

Bug description:
  I can map the Volume Control keys in Keyboard Shortcuts e.g. Volume
  up/down to Volume up/down, but when I press the Volume keys on the
  keyboard nothing happens.

  I have noticed the same problem with other keys on my Logitech Internet 350 keyboard with Tools, Mail, and HomePage.
  They can all be mapped with Keyboard Shortcuts, but nothing happens afterwards when the keyboard key is pressed.

  All these keyboard settings worked fine in older versions of Ubuntu.
