Bug Description
User installs rhythmbox, goes to the properties, and selects that they want their music to be shared. Then, they look on their friends machine, hoping to see their share come up, it never does. User gets frustrated and thinks it just doesn't work. Reasearch has to be done for the user to figure out that they actually need to install avahi. This is confusing because it seems like it should just work from enabling in rhythmbox. Perhaps a hook could be put into rhythmbox so that the user is prompted to install avahi dependies when sharing is selected.

Did you manage to make that work ? Can you tell exactly what package made it work ?
