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

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

In dapper, sometimes I can't open Rhythmbox. CLicking on the icon
doesn't do anything.

After investigating a bit, I noticed that, when that happens, issuing a
"killall rhythmbox" fixes the problem.

So, it seems that, sometimes, when closing RB's window, the process
stays around. Thus, when you try to launch RB again, it find the running
process, and refuses to launch it again.

In Dapper, this seems to happen about half the time for me !

** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
