Bug Description

With Quodlibet running and the "DBus Multimedia Keys" plugin enabled, when I press a media key, instead of the anticipated result a cartouche with a circle-slash symbol (U+20E0) flashes on the screen, I assume in an attempt to indicate that no action was possible.

The attached patch seems to fix the problem for me. For completeness, perhaps an explicit call to ReleaseMediaPlayerKeys() should be made to happen when the plugin is disabled.

I reported the bug upstream (http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/detail?id=819&sort=-id&colspec=Stars%20ID%20Type%20Component%20Milestone%20Summary), hopefully it will be fixed. Until then, can someone see to importing this patch into Ubuntu package so that it gets in oneiric before release?
