Please describe the problem:
On Ubuntu 8.10, "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/rblirc/rhythmbox_lirc_default" has an error in it (causing the "skip back 1 track" button on any ir remote to fail):

begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        remote = *
        button = previous
        repeat = 1
        config = KEY_PREVIOUS
end

This should be:

begin
        prog = Rhythmbox
        remote = *
        button = KEY_PREVIOUS
        repeat = 1
        config = previous
end

Next to the error mentioned above, isn't it possible to simply include this in the ~/.lirc folder (as in, the user doesn't have to do that himself/herself anymore)?

I also found that I had to enter the correct values for the button variables myself, replacing the values in the file (I made a copy of it in my ~/.lirc folder to keep everything nicely together). Is that intentional or is it simply a misconfiguration?

Steps to reproduce:
1. install the prerequisite packages (I don't know on the top of my head which ones these are, and they will possibly differ between distributions).
2. Open "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/rblirc/rhythmbox_lirc_default" with you favorite text editor (or just vim :P)
3. Search for the "previous"-key functionality part.
4. In my case, I copied it to ~/.lirc, added a reference to it in ~/.lircrc, modified the "button"-entries in the file to match my MS MCE remote
5. Reboot lircd and opened rhythmbox
6. Try the "previous track" button on the remote.


Actual results:
Precisely nothing.

Expected results:
I expected the track above the current one to start playing instead of the current one. 

Does this happen every time?
Without a single miss.

Other information:
As stated in the description, this is easily fixable by just reversing the assignments for "button" and "config".
