Would this be the best course of action? I don't think so. GStreamer is configured, by default, to use esd, which is also the default sound sink on Ubuntu. Even for those who don't use esd, GStreamer allows change the sink to something else. To me, it would be a bug if Neil installed Xubuntu, but it doesn't seem to be the case. </blockquote></div> I don't know what Neil installed, XFCE or Xubuntu, but XFCE does NOT start gnome services at boot, which is one of the reasons it starts so fast. Most GNOME programs (not GTK) need these in order to be fully functional. I don't XFCE installed o this machine, but somewhere in the XFC Control Panel (try session management) there's a setting to start GNOME or KDE services @ start. This should make GNOME apps or conversely, KDE apps behave correctly. --andy
