Way late on this, but I had the same problem with xmms not starting from the menu, but starts OK from the command line. I started menudrake from a terminal (or right click on the K and select Menu Editor). go to Multimedia>>Sound>>xmms>>General tab. I unchecked "Open in a terminal", saved and quit. I was then able to open from the K menu.I removed "soundwrapper" from the command for xmms using menudrake, but it didn't make any difference. I suppose I can just make a shortcut on the desktop for xmms and not worry about it, but I'd like to find out why it doesn't work and fix it. The really strange thing about this is that xmms used to work from the menu.TC --- Miark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:The command called upon from the menu is "soundwrapper xmms" whereas what you're typing from the commandline is probably just "xmms". I don't know what soundwrapper does, but I imagine if you remove that from the menu entry using menudrake, it'll fix the problem. This isn't a great solution. I would want to find out why soundwrapper isn't working properly, but in the meantime this solution won't hurt.

The only thing that happened was anxmmsindicator appeared on the panel with the hour glass turning, thenafterabout a minute it disappeared. Xmms did not run. I opened aterminalwindow and as a user typed "xmms" at the command prompt (withoutthequotes of course), and xmms popped up and worked. Tried from themenuagain and still won't work. What's happening here and what can I do about it? Thanks. TC
I went back and found that "Open in a terminal" had somehow been checked again, but the menu still works, so I have no idea what happened.
