rhythmbox fails to start: process does not open window

[Mary Gardiner]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Actual behaviour:
 - I start "rhythmbox" at a command prompt
 - the process does not exit, but no music player window opens

Expected behaviour:
 - I start "rhythmbox" at a command prompt
 - a music player window opens

Output of "rhythmbox -d" (some minutes' worth) is attached.

Is there anything on the notification area? seems you closed rhythmbox while being the window in the hide state that's why it doesn't appear, could you check? and also try with another new user, thanks.

You're right, the notification icon does appear. I still consider that a bug: when I open a desktop application I expect a window, not a notification icon.

it reopens in the state it was before closing that's not a bug
