Hi Sebastien Bacher,
Thanks for the response.
This problem is reproducable every time i open rythmbox. It is straight procedure, there are no specific steps - just open rythmbox. And i do not get any error on the command line on the first run.

nobody else gets that issue so that's rather an user configuration issue

I have a very basic default installation of Jaunty and have this exact problem every time I start Rhythmbox. Repeatable every time.

"Starting Rhythmbox" shows in a tab then disappears. Second time, "Starting Rhythmbox" again which this time changes to the regular Rhythmbox tab.

@dlfuller pleas ask a new question about your issue from here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+addquestion

A simple solution worked for me. See #74232 the new question I posted as suggested above: <https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+question/74232>

I have this same issue. From the start menu (Applications>Sound & Video), I click "Rhythmbox Music Player" and it does not open. When I click the same icon again, the application opens.
