I'm running a self-compiled gnome/sawfish setup. I also have a
self-compiled xmms installed on my system. Anyway, the other day, I
logged into gnome after a reboot, and I couldn't get xmms to display. I
have a quick launch icon for xmms on my toolbar. When I pressed it, no
windows appeared that I could see, but my "gnome desktop guide" applet
showed that xmms was running. Furthermore, I could click on an any type
of media file in the file manager, and xmms would play it (mp3s, wav
files, even mpeg movies). I even tried 'killall -9 xmms' then tried to
re-launch xmms---no good. After explicitly killing xmms, I tried loading
it from the commandline: same result.
I logged out of gnome, then logged back in, and I got xmms to display. So
I guess everything is okay now, but I'd still like to know what happened
to xmms. Especially if it happens again, I'd like to fix it more easily
than logging out and logging in again.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
