Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: music-applet
It appears that music-applet is unable to control Rhythmbox. Regardless
of whether Rhythmbox is running, music-applet just displays the icon
offering to launch it.
I have checked so that Rhythmbox registers its d-bus services (using
dbus-monitor), which it indeed does. An instance of music-applet which
is compiled from pristine sources also manages to control Rhythmbox as
it should (although it segfaults when trying to launch it when it
actually isn't running instead), which leads me to believe that this is
somehow an Ubuntu problem, rather than a problem with music-applet in
itself. In fact, the Ubuntu-shipped music-applet also works, but only if
started manually from e.g. an xterm, and only then added to the panel.
I'm guessing that means that there is some problem with some environment
variable in the process which normally would launch music-applet
(bonobo-activation?).
