calculator and email hotkeys are working too.

but i cant control media applications with the other media keys like next and previous track or play/pause.
It was working some time ago with mate desktop environment, but now it doesnt work anymore.

i can even remap the media keys an use the next track key to launch a terminal.

ive got 2 machines running mate.

xev and next track key produce this
