No, I don't have esd running (I don't even think I have it installed).  I
know that artsd is running in the background, but if I do a `fuser -n file
/dev/dsp`, it returns nothing..... unless I'm incorrectly using fuser :)

I modified my .xinitrc so that I would run twm instead of KDE upon one
X-session, but that still didn't help.
