Description of problem: Hmm... For some reason, Music Applet shows up only for the first X session. If the X session is ended too abruptly (such as X crashing or the like), then it simply never shows up in the panel again. Adding it to the panel does not make it reappear; though with the next reboot it does show the two instances. I'll need to investigate this further and look through the BZR log; perhaps a recent commit has fixed this upstream which I can simply backport as needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applet-music-2.1.0-2.fc7.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time, apparently. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add Music Applet to the GNOME panel. 2. Make X crash or end abruptly somehow (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is a good method! ^_^); then login again. 3. ??? 4. Profit!! Actual results: The Music Applet should show on the panel at all times. Expected results: It shows up only for the first session.
If I run the applet from the CLI before adding it to the panel, it gives me the following errors: $ /usr/libexec/music-applet DEBUG: GConf root is /apps/panel/applets/applet_19/prefs Failed to open module at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/musicapplet/plugins/__init__.pyc: 'module' object has no attribute 'INFO' Failed to open module at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/musicapplet/plugins/__init__.py: 'module' object has no attribute 'INFO' Failed to open module at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/musicapplet/plugins/__init__.pyo: 'module' object has no attribute 'INFO' Failed to scan /home/peter/.gnome2/music-applet/plugins: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/peter/.gnome2/music-applet/plugins'
Still not fixed in 2.2.0. Hmm.

I see this same problem without crashing X. I just had logged out, then logged back in. Rebooting allowed the applet to load (had several copies running :)
This is fixed in Rawhide/F8. Not sure exactly if it was some X update or 2.2.1 of music-applet; but I'm no longer seeing this issue (having crashed X intentionally about four times, the applet loads and runs properly after each). 2.2.1 is in the update queue for F-7 and F-8. Please reopen this if you are still experience the bug with further details. Thanks.
Gaah; just crashed X again and Music Applet went with it. Need to dig into this much farther, it seems. :(
(In reply to comment #6) > Gaah; just crashed X again and Music Applet went with it. Need to dig into this > much farther, it seems. :( I should note, this is on F-8. I don't believe rawhide users should experience any similar issues any longer.
Steve, do you still experience this issue with updated packages? I'm not sure if it's the 2.2.1 update or an X update or whatnot, but this seems to have been fixed somewhere in the past week or so. I'm no longer experiencing this, personally. Thanks.
Looks good now. Thanks!
