killall xmms will kill all instances of xmms
For what it's worth, <killall xmms> did nothing, and xmms remained in the Panel.
well, what is "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.
did you do: ps aux |grep xmms and see if there was an instance of "xmms" running?
No, because I already knew that there was an instance running.
Don't blame me for not seeing your screen and understanding your terminology. I have no crystal ball. And, I have been unable to *hide* xmms as you described.
Believe it or not, I don't blame anybody, certainly not you, whom I don't know, and who answered my query that I sent off into anonymous cyberspace. I have no ideological or emotional interest in pinning this on anybody, and I don't take malfunctions personally. I am only trying to solve a problem, and to get the system running as it should. Also, I am not in a panic; if this doesn't get straightened out in reasonable time, I will simple wait until installation of the next stable release of openSuSE and start again. In the meantime, I can still listen to the same streams as usual. That I have been "able" to hide xmms and you haven't may or may not be a result of a special talent with which I am endowed. The fact is that what I have described is what is here. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
