For what it's worth, <killall xmms> did nothing, and xmms remained in the Panel. Thinking that repeating this as root might be help, I did so, and now the Panel shows "XMMS[2]", i.e. there are two copies of xmms running, I can't see either of them, and neither of them is functional.
XMMS has done this several times for me as well, it's there just hidden in the background as expanded full screen. I close it out in a round about way but it works for me. I open a super user terminal screen do a ps -lA find the job number of XMMS and the to a kill -9 "job number" then I check to see if it is gone with ps -lA again sometimes it takes a couple of times to kill it
Many thanks. The mere fact that someone else has seen this apparently rare behavior is encouraging. I'll try your procedure. Perhaps its developers may some day get around to finding and fixing the bug. Hopefully, discussion on the forum may increast the probability that they would even know about it.
