The problem how i see it is that it'd be completely different code to support this on all the different platforms (and i do not know if you can do this using gtk or wxwidgets or whatever vlc uses for their linux thing, unless x windows is all you need), but i would also appreciate it if this worked.
In the mini projects they talk about using dbus. This would do the global hotkey thing for gnome (and maybe kde xfce etc), as you can bind hotkeys to CLI commands, thus you should be able to pass DBUS messages to vlc by calling the right executable + switches from gnome using gnome's global hotkey support (but they call it something else).
And that's about all i can guess about. Still this'd be great!
