At some point in the past pausing Rhythmbox would stop any new GNOME
applications from starting, presumably as it locked esound.

This is highly amusing when you wonder what is going on after starting
Galeon 10 times, before giving up and closing Rhythmbox as you're about
to logout, and suddenly 10 Galeon windows appear.

Hopefully, this is fixed.
