A side effect that I just noticed is that the volume up/down controls keys no longer seem to function at all.
I reset the keyboard shortcuts to use them, but even with the whole volume control panel enabled, they don't do a thing.
What did I break? I don't remember seeing this one before....

Update: Just for the heck of it, I set the volume controls to use the "skip track" back (|<<) and forward (>>|) keys instead. These work. When I changed them back to the volume down and up keys, they failed.
Now I'm completely baffled - the keyboard shortcut applet recognizes the volume control keys, but they don't work, but the mute key works, and the track back and forward buttons function for the volume???
Anyone?
TIA.

Fire up xev and tell us what is displayed when you push these various keys.
TIA.

Thanks - I forgot about that:

But for the track skip keys:
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer

FocusOut event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

So it is recognizing the volume up/downkeys but not responding to them (i.e., when they are the key maps for volume up and down, they don't adjust the volume).
I changed the shortcuts to use the volume keys, and they show this:
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987731, (110,163), root:(951,229), state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 165 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987964, (110,163), root:(951,229), state 0x10, keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 165 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217989723, (110,163), root:(951,229), state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 158 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1f00001, root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217989951, (110,163), root:(951,229), state 0x10, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 158 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
The differences between the two views is this:
2c2 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217713917, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987731, (110,163), root:(951,229),
10c10 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217714167, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217987964, (110,163), root:(951,229),
17c17 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217715861, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217989723, (110,163), root:(951,229),
25c25 < root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217716135, (135,130), root:(976,196), ---
root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 217989951, (110,163), root:(951,229),
I don't think this is significant, but I thought I'd include it anyway.
Thanks.
