Description

XFCE really needs to provide the org.gnome.settingsdaemon.mediakeys service so that when the XF86Audio* keys are pressed the appropriate DBus signals are emitted. An example implementation of this in python can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/mediakeys-daemon/

It currently lacks the ability to listen for the key events and instead relies on keybindings being made that call that same program with arguments. A more complete solution would include binding to the X11 keys so that an external binding was not necessary.
