I think you may have encountered what I was getting at in #32

GNOME has tied hotkey support into gnome-shell, such that hotkeys no longer work without gnome-shell in any gnome-derivative desktops (like Unity).

The GNOME team has provided a utility to restore hotkey support without gnome-shell: gnome-fallback-media-keys-helper

At the moment, the only Ubuntu package available is in the Zorion OS PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~zorin-os/+archive/ubuntu/packages

Rather than add the whole PPA, it's probably a better idea to download the one package and install it with dpkg.
