Hey, I don't think that this is a bug, because it is reported as being fixed - may just be a setting that needs to be changed somewhere.
Here is another thread - with no real answers. Maybe people ignored it because it recieved more than 0 replies. (you don't need to click there, because I'm explaining the same thing here)

Anyways, it seems in MATE that my multimedia keys (the play/pause, forward, back, stop, volume) do not work at all. Apart from when Audacious is running with a specific setting, pressing them yields no response. This is very limiting. On Gnome 3, they work fine. And on Ubuntu and Windows 7. I also discovered that other keyboard shortcuts are also dead. The Keyboard Shortcuts dialogue reports everything as being set alright. The keyboard is USB keyboard.
I'm running Linux Mint 12, with all recommended updates installed. Here is my system configuration:

If you need any other hardware info, I'd be happy to pass it along. I built the system myself, so there's no single product number that I can just paste.
In addition, I'd like to request a little information. Is MATE still being actively developed? It's quite an ambitious project to be undertaking - basically developing a GNOME 2 fork for the forseeable future. Will the project be sustainable for long? Is there faith?
