Description Dean De Leo 2018-04-24 19:47:50 UTC 
Evince gets priority for the media keys, integrated in the keyboard, even when Clementine is running. 

Repro: 
1. Start Clementine
2. Use the media keys -> start & change tracks
3. Start evince
4. Use the media keys -> nothing happens

Running `dbus-monitor' reveals the interference of evince:
...
signal time=1524596462.349923 sender=:1.49 -> destination=:1.217 serial=259 path=/org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/MediaKeys; interface=org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys; member=MediaPlayerKeyPressed
   string "Evince"
   string "Play"

It seems to be a regression I've been experiencing for a while, but I'm not able to indicate with which Gnome version started.

This behaviour seems a reminiscence of bug #547164 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547164

Update the bug report as it seems more appropriate.
