i'll review your patch and maybe commit on the next release of gentoo-patches.

It is XMMS with RusXMMS patch applied (By the way is it any chances to see that patch in the official tree?). However same behevior is with r15 and other releases which includes 0040_all_sigterm.patch.

So please rename the bug title if you want this issue to be reviewed by us.

xmms and all plugins are now package.masked and will be removed from the tree in one month.

WONTFIX.
