Amarok does not quit (and therefore cannot be started again)

[Andrew]

Binary package hint: amarok

== What I do ==

1) Run 'amarok' in the terminal.
2) Click on Amarok -> Quit.

== What I expect to happen ==

The Amarok process quits. I can start Amarok again later by running 'amarok' in the terminal.

== What actually happens ==

Amarok disappears from the screen. If I try running 'amarok' again later, Amarok does not appear and the following error message is displayed in the terminal:

Amarok is already running!
<unknown program name>(3000)/: Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "

I had the same problem with package "amarok 2:2.3.0-0ubuntu4" (Ubuntu 10.04, 64bit). Updating to "amarok 2:2.3.1-1ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa2" by adding the "ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports" repository seems to have fixed it.

This problem is not present in the current version, amarok 2:2.3.2-0ubuntu4.
