Public bug reported:
Closing Rhythmbox, does not free the media keys, and no program can use
them after that, not even Rhythmbox if you restart it.
This seems to be very close to bug #1036489, but that one was active 8
years ago, and was marked as expired 6 years ago.
Restarting the machine frees the media keys again.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Verify that the media keys work (restart the machine if not)
2. close rhythmbox with right click on the taskbar icon, use "stop & quit"
3. reopen rhythmbox, the media keys do not work.
1. Verify that the media keys work (restart the machine if not)
2. End the 'rhythmbox' process
3. reopen rhythmbox, the media keys do not work.
1. Verify that the media keys work (restart the machine if not)
2. in rhythmbox go to preferences -> plugins -> click preferences for any plugin
3. click the 'restart' next to "Restart the player for the changes to take
effect"
4. once rhythmbox restarts, the media keys do not work anymore.
