I've reported this upstream (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670038), and a Rhythmbox developer replied that this problem was "a consequence of an Ubuntu- specific patch."
In case I wasn't clear, the problem is with restoring Rhythmbox from Gnome3's Message Tray in the lower-right corner. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #670038 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670038 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923242 Title: Cannot restore rhythmbox from notification area in gnome-shell after closing window Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell. When I close the rhythmbox window, it is still accessible through the notification area (or systray, whatever it's called) in the lower-right corner as expected. I can still pause and skip to the next or previous track. However, I can't restore the window, whether by right-clicking and selecting "Open" or by left-clicking and clicking on the info box. I have to restart rhythmbox from the Activities menu (it doesn't restart playback, just shows the currently running instance). If I minimize instead of closing the window, then restoration works through either of the notification area methods.
