Bug Description

On current Gutsy-beta, select Applications > Sound & Video > Rhythmbox, start some music, and minimize the Rhythmbox window. After a while, forgetting that there already is a rhythmbox process, select again Applications > Sound & Video > Rhythmbox. Boom. Desktop dead.
The mousepointer still moves OK, but there is no reaction to mouseclicks or keystrokes. The system is otherwise OK, I can login from elsewhere, and all seems fine. /proc/interrupts shows that keystrokes and mouseclicks are seen.

I don't know whether this is related to bug 147649.

This is on an Intel Core 2 Duo. If I kill -9 the /usr/bin/X11/X process, then it doesn't go away but starts eating 100% CPU.
Maybe that is a separate bug.

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem. Rhythmbox detects if you have an instance of it running and it doesn't open a second one, at least for me, do you have Dbus running?
