I am having a similar problem, but for me it happens every time I launch rhythmbox . I get the setup screen and it freezes whether or not I click anything. If I click the X it offers me a force quit, but I end up with a defunct process that I can not get rid of without rebooting. kill -9 does nothing. If I just let it sit to see if it ever responds I end up with a process that sits with D+ . I will likewise work on getting a good trace, but don't work with gdb very often, so could use any pointers.
