I set up a Bastille firewall soon after I installed LM8.1, and since
I have never heard any Gnome sounds, this may well be the cause.
In fact, after I had started 'esd' as a background process from a
terminal, a little while later the terminal displayed some sort of error
message about Bastille and a 'tmp' directory. Bastille has an option to
guard against abuse of the 'tmp' directory, which I enabled when I
configured Bastille. Do you think this might be the problem ? If not, do
you recall which Bastille setting gave you trouble ?
Thanks again for your assistance.
