[Bug 47646] Re: Rhythmbox can't start because an old instance is still running

[Gearry Judkins]

I am having a similar problem, but for me it happens every time I launch
rhythmbox .  I get the setup screen and it freezes whether or not I
click anything.  If I click the X it offers me a force quit, but I end
up with a defunct process that I can not get rid of without rebooting.
kill -9 does nothing.  If I just let it sit to see if it ever responds I
end up with a process that sits with D+ .  I will likewise work on
getting a good trace, but don't work with gdb very often, so could use
any pointers.
