If you really want arts, you should be running KDE. I don't see how this bug is serious. arts is part of official KDE distribution and playing nice with other environments is not arts goal. Yes, it's a bug, but normal at best. P.S. Btw, you really should not want to use arts. It's latency (sometimes over 500ms-1 sec on fast CPU), occasional high CPU usage problems and other numerous issues make it useless for anything but notifications. Use numerous alternatives like alsa dmix (software mixing if multiple audio input if a sound card does not support this natively and default since alsa 1.0.9 where it's needed), xine, gstreamer etc. instead. If you want a decent sound server, use jack. arts is not being developed anymore and stays in KDE3 for the sake of backwards compatibility. KDE4 ditches arts completely.
