I will admit to being the sort that, when it comes to gui apps, only tries documentation as a last resort, so I can't answer this question. Maybe I'll check when I get home and have access to the machine. The odd part is that it was muted at all. And now that I think of it, I'm not sure if I just clicked on it, or if I did something to bring up the volume dialog, which might also have had a mute checkbox. I just don't recall =/ Anyway, I am perfectly willing to blame myself, and not the dev, on this one. I was probably confused because I'm used to thinking of apps on linux as separate entities, and so I don't expect a gnome panel to affect xmms. It's a feature; just an unexpected one. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
