At some point within the last month or so, rhythmbox has started exhibiting a really bizarre behavior. $ ps -u luser | grep rhy $ rhythmbox & [The mouse pointer looks half busy for a second, then back to normal. No GUI shows up, no messages in the terminal.] $ ps -u luser | grep rhy 23283 pts/2 00:00:10 rhythmbox $ rhythmbox & [A GUI immediately pops up and is completely usable. The second rhythmbox process exits, which means that it's the first that actually brings up the GUI.] Anyone else seeing anything similar? I couldn't find anything in Bugzilla.
