[lug] Gnome Issues

[Dan Ferris]

Yeah I had him switch to KDE just to try it out.  I also told the other 
user to try KDE to see if it still happened.

Thunderbird still locked up.  But, it was locking up when playing a wav 
file for mail notification.  So it might well have been contention for 
the sound card. 

Sound daemons just plain suck.  The Gstreamer way is so much better.

I use KDE myself.  That fixed my Gnome problems too.  I also set arts to 
sleep after like 5 seconds of inactivity which solved a lot of problems 
with sound devices.
