There is a workaround for this. I used to use this on Debian with a small set of packages. Using acpid and amixer one can set an acpid rule to react at volume keys at a deeper level than the default sound daemon. Use acpi_listen to discover your key codes and write a script like this (for exampl

I don't see how this could be a gnome-settings-daemon issue. gnome- settings-daemon has a passive grab on the volume keys, and it will get temporary focus during a keypress so that the keypresses are routed to g-s-d. If a fullscreen game has an active grab on the keyboard or pointer, then there is
