OK. You will find it attached to this email.
Ok, it's the same as mine, could you check you have use-session-dbus in
/etc/X11/Xsession.options?
I checked and that option was not present. I added it, logged out and
back in but nothing changed so I rebooted and still there was no change.
Since all the correct icons and the volume slider in Rhythmbox appear,
and work fine, in other user accounts I suspect that something in one of
my /home directory files is corrupted. I ran Kompare on all the
configuration files in .gconf, .gnome, .gnome2, and a couple of other
directories having to do with configuration too that I can't recall off
the top of my head and found no differences between those files in my
/home directory and the /home directory of an account which works
correctly.
Since the parts of Rhythmbox and and the Gnome volume slider appear, and
work correctly, in other user accounts I wouldn't think that global
system configuration files such as those found in /etc would be the
problem, would you? Wouldn't it make sense that whatever is corrupted
is corrupted in relation to my user account only?
I'm new enough to Debian that I am unsure what all files are related to
this. However, I have uninstalled Rhythmbox, ran a dpkg --purge
rhythmbox and then manually gone through and deleted any directories
left in my /home directory named Rhythmbox--there were a few left.
However, on re-install of Rhythmbox the same problem still appeared so I
suspect something in Gnome itself is corrupted and it's all related
somehow to the default volume slider.
I can't remember exactly what it was that corrupted in my wife's user
account on this same machine once but it was something similar. I
created her a new account, transfered her /home directory files from her
old account to her new one and the problem followed her. So I deleted
that account and created another one. When I excluded copying the
hidden directories and configuration files to the new /home directory
for her the problem disappeared.
Just a note for your information. After this coming Sunday I will be
gone Monday-Friday from now on as I'm starting a new job that is too far
away to commute daily. So, if you send an email that requires a
response and I don't respond for a few days that will be why.
Ok, no problem.
Bye,
