Since upgrading to intrepid, the volume down button now stops Rhythmbox
from playing. It also happens to turn down the volume as well. It worked
fine in edgy, feisty, gusty and hardy and only broke in the upgrade to
intrepid.

If I open Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, and try to reassign Volume
down by clicking on "Volume down" and pressing the volume down key when
it says "New shortcut...", the shortcut is assigned to "XF86AudioStop".
Similarly, if I press the stop key (Fn+Up arrow on this laptop), it also
sends XF86AudioStop.

Similarly, the volume up key sends "XF86AudioRewind", and the mute key
"XF86ScreenSaver". All the keys still perform their expected function,
but the volume down key specifically also stops rhythmbox.

The real Stop/Prev/Next/Play keys send the correct event and work as
intended.

I've attached my xmodmap and the outputs from xev on pressing each of
the keys.
