Using banshee multimedia keys in KDE

Hello,

I have switched to KDE 4.2 but still prefer to use banshee than amarok.

My problem is that now KDE doesn't pass multimedia keys press to banshee (next track, prev, etc).

Can someone help me configure it so I can use the keys for banshee under KDE?

I'm having this problem too, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this.

You'll need to run gnome-settings-daemon for media key support. Banshee
doesn't support grabbing hold of the media keys the way KDE does it.

Can somebody please explain, what to do exactly?

I'm using KDE 4.3 Banshee 1.5
Under the settings in Banshee, I activated Multimediakeys.

I installed gnome--setings-demon, but it doesn't start. The terminal says:
"** (gnome-settings-daemon:15460): WARNING **: Could not acquire name"

Help, please!
Thanks!

Tobias
