Binary package hint: rhythmbox

"On the subject of Rhythmbox, currently when you start it, it will open
to the last state - eg. in the notification area, or maximized, or just
a window on some workspace. I don't think it should do this. When people
open a program, they expect to see a reaction immediately. If it's
opening as a 10x10 pixel icon in the corner of their screen, or in
another workspace where they can't see it, then they will be confused
and become frustrated.

Also, what do you want to do when you open a music player? You want to
play music, select your song or artist or album, or choose a podcast or
browse the store. None of these can be achieved when the window is on
another workspace, or with the limited functionality of the music menu
in the notification area. Plus, I believe this action is inconsistent
with most other programs."

"Yes, I agree, Rhythmbox when launched conventionally should display a
window. It might remember its state w.r.t. being maximised, and it's
"position" (playlist) from the preious time it was running, but you
should get the feeling of having "opened it" if you click on it in the
launcher.

Please do file a bug and copy this exchange into it."
