[Bug 199011] [NEW] Amarok process runs, but application window/tray icon do not appear

[ironstorm]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

Click on the amarok quick launch icon, amarok menu item, or type amarok
or amarokapp in a terminal.   The process starts eating up ~256MB, but
the application window does not open, no tray icon appears and it uses
no CPU cycles.

amarok-kde4 does load (too bad it's still pre-alpha crap)...
