I have seen something like this before. Especially after I quit Amarok and restart it or after it crashed and restart it. I usually use killall amarok, sometimes it needs killall -9 amarok and then restart it. Then it comes up. I am keen on testing with with Amarok 2.8 which has been released today. I hope there will be a Debian package soon. It contains many fixes and polishments and yay even a audio visualization applet. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
