rhythmbox/banshee freeze my Thinkpad T43p on song change when the lid is closed

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox freezes my Thinkpad T43p on song change when the lid is closed (set to blank the screen instead of suspending).

This happens both in AC mode and in battery mode.
This happens with or without the ubuntu indicator applet.

When it happens, the system locks up completely; you can't change to another TTY or use the magic sysrq{s,u,b] keys.

Actually, this also affects Banshee, so it's not specific to rhythmbox.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
