Unfortunately, this _is_ the version from testing. Tried the potato version already, with the --force-downgrade option, and it fails in the same way. It leads me to believe that it's an issue with how xmms interacts with gtk, apparently across versions. Perhaps the gtk stuff changed recently, and xmms needs to be rewritten to act accordingly? Don't know, unfortunately, as I haven't had enough experience (read almost none) coding, and can't track it down on my own. Thanks, Steve -- Men of quality are not afraid of women for equality.
