It is possible that this problem is related to the nvidia-installer. I tried to remove all files being from the proprietary nvidia-installer and broke the nvidia-glx-installation as well (X-Windows didn't start anymore). I then purged nvidia-glx and reinstalled it, now xmms is starting again. Sorry for the wrong bug and thanks for the help!
Just in case someone has the same problem, here is the list of files I removed (I repeat: this also broke the nvidia-glx installation, but with reinstalling this, everything was working again): /usr/lib: libGL.la libGL.so.1.0.9629 libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so.1.3.060501 libGLcore.so.1.0.9629 libXvMCNVIDIA.a libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.9629 libnvidia-cfg.so libnvidia-cfg.so.1 libnvidia-cfg.so.1.0.9629 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.9629 /usr/lib/nvidia: libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa libGL.so.1.xlibmesa libglx.so.xlibmesa libnvidia-cfg.so.1.0.8776 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.8776 tls_test tls_test_dso.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions: libglx.so.1.0.9629 ______________________________________________________________________________ "Ein Herz für Kinder" - Ihre Spende hilft!
