Public bug reported:
I was messing around with Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 12.04 trying to get a
display I liked. I saw "Party Mode" under the View menu and selected it
to see what it was. I got a full-screen instance of Rhythmbox with NO
WAY TO EXIT! No menus were available, no keys like ESC etc. worked to
revert to regular mode. I could bring up the dash with the hotkey
(Super) or use alt-tab etc. to ask to switch windows but none of that
changed the display: Rhythmbox still took up the entire screen.
I could find no way to get rid of it except resorting to CTRL-ALT-F1,
logging on the console, using ps to find the PID and kill it. If I
wasn't knowledgeable enough to do that, I guess my only option would be
to use the power button on my system!!
That can't be right.
If Rhythmbox is going to be the official music player in Ubuntu someone
needs to do some work to get it to integrate better into Unity. At the
very least you should remove this menu item until such time as it can be
made to work properly.
