Good point: Actually, we think that multimedia key support should
always be handled via MPRIS, not via the applications themselves, and
that does work fine in Cantata.
Looks like we should recommend distributions to activate the MPRIS Plasmoid
by default, assign the multimedia keys to it, activate MPRIS in Cantata
and deactivate its tray icon by default. That setup works perfectly fine and
should make all MPRIS-supporting apps behave the same.

It must be a local issue, I can see cover art both in the Plasmoid and the
task manager tooltip.
