gnome 3.8 deadbeef

In gnome shell 3.8 deadbeef global hotkeys do nothing once deadbeef has lost the focus. An prohibit osd icon is showed. It was running fine in shell 3.6 so I suposse deadbeef must be dbus capable and there must be something broke in the upgrade.

Re: gnome 3.8 deadbeef

I had already done it and I can see no error related to mediakeys, neither on session.log nor Xorg.log. I have report the issue to upstream anyway. Just if someone could try reproduce the issue and confirm that it is not a config problem.

Re: gnome 3.8 deadbeef

Well I cannot reproduce this bug, the global shortcuts works when Deadbeef's not highlighted. However, it doesn't remember its windows size and position when closing after upgrading from 3.6 to 3.8... I also cannot browse folders to add into my playlist. In other words, it's broken. I'll try to recompile using the GTK+2 interface and see what happens.

EDIT: just as I suspected, the new GTK 3.8.1-1 upgrade has issues with deadbeef. While whatever is causing this is fixed upstream (either GTK+3 or Deadbeef) we should be using the GTK+2 interface. I added a task in the Arch bugtraker requesting this.
