Thank you for your bug. The crash happens to a plugin from the libvisual-0.4-plugins package, update the package information to reflect that

are you sure rhythmbox isn't set to run @ start-up or something trippy?

see the trippy thing about this bug is that it shouldn't happen unless a user on a x64 system actually launches rhythmbox and enables the visualization called JESS...
the crash itself IS a libvisual-plugins issue... but it should NEVER reach this point without the users help.

I think what's really happened it that here, Rhythmbox crashed a while ago, and then a reboot later, apport picked it up.

is it still picking it up @ almost every reboot?
you might want to try removing the crash file from /var/crash/
if this doesn't stop it @ almost every startup then there are deeper issues not involving libvisual-plugins.

either way i'd like to know. so i know how i should handle this bug.
