Yesterday everything was fine, but today gnome-volume-control wouldn't start, and I couldn't change the volume level with the volume control applet in the panel. I ran gnome-volume-control as root, which worked. I then tried running it as a normal user, and viola, it was working again. But, the volume control applet was still busted. I removed the applet from the panel, added it again, and it was back to normal. I haven't looked into it any deeper than that, so you might want to give what I did above a try. I installed the update for SElinux yesterday. I wonder if that update had something to do with the problem. HTH, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com
