well, this is probably the same issue I had before, but a different application. My wife rebooted my PC and when she logs in first, I am not able to do things, without being root. Before it was burning CD's, now it is using mplayer. the screen pops up, then disappears. I can drop to a konsole, su to root, run mplayer and that works, but not as a user. I know if I reboot and log in first, the issue will disappear. Is there some master file that stops the 2nd user logging in from running things????

If you start mplayer from a console, most probably you will see that it fails because it can not get access to the sound device. The first user logged in gets the rights. There were some discussions in the list about how to set the permissions of the devices, when a user logs in. Sunny
