Comment:
The problem is that in libgnomeui it isn't checked if sounds should be
played in gnome_client_request_save () (and the deprecated
gnome_message_box_construct ()). In libgnome gnome_sound_connection_get
() is called (by gnome_triggers_play_sound ()) to get the fd of esd (or
-1 if it isn't running); it calls esd_open_sound () which callls
esd_connect_tcpip () (both in libesd) to open the esd socket with the
connect () syscall. If esd isn't running this last call blocks until
timeout (~ 180 seconds).

So it seems to be a libgnomeui and esound problem.
