Grabbing multimedia keys

hello,

I've recently started using indimpc[1]. It's just a tiny program that
grabs your multimedia keys and lets you use them to control mpd. There's
a glitch here, which I'd like some help on:

If indimpc is running, and I run totem, the multimedia keys start to
affect them both. So, if I want to pause totem, the pause multimedia key
will have two results:
- pause totem
- play mpd

This is the code snippet from indimpc:


> 	def grab_mmkeys(self):
> 		try:
> 			keysbus = self.bus.get_object("org.gnome.SettingsDaemon", "/org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/MediaKeys")
> 			keysbus.GrabMediaPlayerKeys("indimpc", 0, dbus_interface="org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys")
> 			keysbus.connect_to_signal("MediaPlayerKeyPressed", self.delegate_mediakeys)
> 		except:
> 			sys.stderr.write("[WARNING] indimpc: can't grab multimedia keys using gnome-settings-daemon.\n")
> 			try:
> 				import keybinder
> 				keybinder.bind("XF86AudioPlay", self.toggle_playback)
> 				keybinder.bind("XF86AudioStop", self.stop)
> 				keybinder.bind("XF86AudioPrev", self.play_previous)
> 				keybinder.bind("Xf86AudioNext", self.play_next)
> 			except:
> 				sys.stderr.write("[WARNING] indimpc: can't grab multimedia keys using keybinder either.")
> 

I was wondering if there's a way to ensure that indimpc only has the
multimedia key when no other program is holding them. Is there a way to
do this? Maybe give it least priority?

Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
