Media keys are not passed

Current Behavior

i3lock --pass-media-keys does not pass media keys.

Expected Behavior

i3lock --pass-media-keys should pass media keys.

Reproduction Instructions

OS is Debian 10. Desktop environment is MATE. I can play and pause media using the media keys via xbindkeys. I lock the screen with: i3lock --pass-media-keys. I would expect the media keys to continue to function as normal. The keys in question are m:0x0 + c:208 and m:0x0 + c:209, which correspond to XF86AudioPlay and XF86AudioPause. (I'm using the keycode numbers instead of the names due to what seems to be a problem with xbindkeys, but it should work either way)

If I had to guess, I think the problem has something to do with how i3lock interacts with MATE. I have used i3lock-color in the past with fluxbox (keys are bound in fluxbox's keys file) and it worked at that time. I think maybe when the screen is locked, some component of MATE is intercepting the keys somehow and they are not getting passed correctly along to xbindkeys, but I am just guessing.

Environment

i3lock version: 2.13.c.4, also tried with 2.13.c.4-37-gaeb9982.

Where'd you get i3lock-color from?
