I posted a message on a previous thread (Adding window managers) regarding a problem I'm having with a multimedia app (The Gnome Wave Cleaner) having trouble with playback of WAV files. I described the problem thusly: The app plays WAV files beautifully when run from xfce started in runlevel 3, but doesn't when run from KDE, xfce and gnome started by kdm in runlevel 5 and doesn't when run from gnome started from gdm in runlevel 5.
I compared the output of 'ps -ax' when the app would work and when it wouldn't and found what I think is the problem, a running remote X session. It seems my son was logged into a remote X session from the upstairs PC during the time I've been experiencing the problem (not actually DOING anything mind you, just logged in...). When I changed to runlevel 3, he was no longer logged in, the app worked. He's no longer logged in now and the app is running fine from runlevel 5. So this appears to be a remote X issue. Any ideas on troubleshooting/fixing that? I guess I could update X to 4.2.0 and hope the problem is magically solved... What are the chances that this is a kernel problem? Any insight is welcomed...
