Tonight I logged out from one user account and logged into another. When Gnome came up, there was no sound. I checked the volume, read some documentation, and eventually checked ~/.xsession-errors. I discovered that I was getting errors with the 'esd' sound daemon.
After some Googling, I found that others (on various distributions of 
Linux using Gnome) have experienced the same problem:  'esd' is 
supposed to be killed when a user logs out, but if it isn't killed 
then the next user trying to log in is prevented from using sound 
because of permissions on a temporary 'esd' socket not being reset.
Have some of you had the same problem?  Is there a cure for it, or is 
it a randomly occurring thing that is a kind of annoyance?
