I rebooted several times. Actually I also rebooted with a newer kernel, then switched back. And yes, I tried oaf-slay, and also runing "wombat" from the command line (it didn't die), and removing stuff in /tmp. Upgrading the kde sound package forced me to upgrade several other packages (althuogh the dependency on libasound made it complicated). > The "arts" thing might be a red herring. yes, it might. If it stops working again I'll report in much more detail; I do still have the result of running strace evolution, but it's not very enlightening, except that it looks like it had an error opening a sound device, which is what prompted me to try the upgrade.
