Is there any specific reason, why multimedia keys (play, pause, mute, forward) not works in ubuntu 9.04 by default ? I can control any other player by pressing special keys on dell multimedia keyboard, but vlc dont respond. As far as i know its also not working on mac and windows.

Thanx for info, here is bug on it on launchpad.
