Bug Description

Pretty much just like it says...after I open rhythmbox it loads all songs, etc.
and then slowly grinds to a halt. Here is the gdb output:

thanks for your bug. What version of the package are you using? Your backtrace
is not a crash, you probably want to use "handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint" to
no stop on SIG33 and get a backtrace of the crash. Have you runned "rhythmbox
-d", what does it say?

This actually appears to have cleared itself up, and the issue appears to have
been with rhythmbox-applet, and not rhythmbox itself....so...go on and close
this bad boy. Apologies for the wild goose chase. Cheers.
