Killing esd ‘unhangs’ gnome here. > Maybe by removing .gconf you just unset /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd? I've seen the exact same thing too. A quick 'killall esd' fixes things, but I guess it shouldn't be happening in the first place. Anyone make a suggestion on where to start debugging this. Would a hardware profile be a good start, or do we need a backtrace of esd (and how do we get this), or is esd just an innocent bystander. I'm willing to try and debug, but not sure were to start.
