gnome-sound-properties fails to open in Jaunty

[Max Romantschuk]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

After upgrading my Intrepid installation to Jaunty gnome-sound-properties doesn't seem to open reliably. It doesn't matter if I open it through the command line, the Preferences/Sound menu or through gnome-control-center.

I have managed to get the window to open once or twice, but most of the time it simply fails to open, without error messages. When running gnome-sound-properties from the command line there are no error messages, except for a few deprecation warnings relating to the theme in use.

When the window does open everything seems to work fine. I have multiple sound cards in my machine, if that is significant. ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio are installed.

How could I debug the issue? I am a professional programmer, but this is not my area of expertise. I have yet to notice this issue with any of the other control windows.

Also, the volume control applet doesn't seem to work. (Nothing seems to happen when I add it.) Is this related or possibly a separate issue?
