--- Comment #13 from David Edmundson <k...@davidedmundson.co.uk> --- To write up what's hpapening. The lockscreen loads the MPRIS dataengine, that engine registers the global shortcuts. (see multiplexer.cpp) One component can't steal grabs from another, but because the dataengine uses a brand new action collection with a branch new component "Media Controls" it's not technically stealing the controls, simply re-registering a second copy of the same component. Doing that is a bit weird. Rather than having code for the applet to grab the shortcuts again the moreobvious solution is to simply not register new shortcuts from the lockscreen. IMHO we should move the shortcut handling from the dataengine to something else which our MPRIS applet can load. Dataengines should be read only data fetchers; therefore not doing this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
