Running XMMS as a normal user, the player fails to start (appear). I checked the permissions on relevant /dev entries but they were fine (as I could also use mpg123 and alsaplayer etc.). There does not appear to be a --debug option, but when I run it from a command line and hit CTRL+C the following error appears: [snip] Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1510 (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

Segmentation fault You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit http://bugs.xmms.org and fill out a bug report. [snip] It would appear that the program simply cannot display itself but it is running. This occured after the windowmaker change in portage a couple days ago (I am using windowmaker). I tried moving .xmms in my home directory to .xmms-old and starting the player but still no luck. All new config files etc. were created and the player failed to display. Could this be a gnome problem? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u windowmaker 2. /usr/bin/xmms 3. CTRL+C
I exited windowmaker and started up gnome. XMMS failed from it's menu entry but started from a terminal. The problem appeared to be a visualization plugin failing to load (goom). I disabled the plugin, restarted xmms from it's menu entry and all was well. Exiting gnome, going back to windowmaker and starting from my menu works as well. Very odd, I never started the plugin in the first place. Nonetheless, fixed. Maybe a little more experimentation next time before I file the report ;-) -P
