Opening gparted causes Rhythmbox to stop playing

[Phil Bull]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

If Rhythmbox is playing a song, opening gparted (System -> Administration -> GNOME Partition Editor) causes Rhythmbox to stop playing and change to the 'Not Playing' status. This occurs during the period when gparted is showing the 'Scanning all devices...' label. Rhythmbox remains 'Not Playing' until the user presses play again.

rhythmbox 0.10.0-0ubuntu2 (feisty)
gparted 0.2.5-2ubuntu2 (feisty)

Thank you for your bug. Do you have your music on an another partition which could be unmonted by gparted and create the bug? Could you attach a "rhythmbox -d" log while triggering the bug?

It seems that the bug only occurs when I have a USB (mass storage) MP3 player plugged-in which has music files on it. If it is not plugged in, the bug doesn't happen.

I've attached the output of `rhythmbox -d 2> rb.log`

unconfirming, to send to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the bug
