I have Xubuntu 11.10, XFCE. I want to send DBus signals to the players so that they worked like in Gnome: you press 'play' key, it plays, 'next' - it forwards, and so on.

For that, I need to bind to the multimedia keys a set of commands like this:

dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox ...

Now, I searched and can't find it: what signals should I send? I need only 3 events: play, forward and rewind.
