Just a small "heads up" about v2 for "your" information.

I have been running v2 for over a week or so. I use 6 
Desktops/workspaces and vlc is always used on Desktop #6 to watch 
(digital) TV. What was occurring was that when I switched to another 
Desktop vlc would lose sound until I returned to Desktop #6.

Now, this may not affect "you", and in any case there was an update a 
couple of days ago and this problem disappeared. Simply bear this mind 
should you also strike the same loss of sound situation.
