(Get the code!)
I *think* the problem was that I had rhythmbox audio sources on Samba connected drives that were not mounted i.e. rhythmbox starts up, tries to connect to network drive with shared music and hangs at the point of initiating password dialog and Samba connect.As a test I deleted my rhythmbox playlists.xml and rhythmdb.xml files and it started fine; I then added audio sources on my local drive and again it worked fine. I redeleted the xml files and added a Samba mounted drive to the source list and after a while (there are about 2000 songs in the directory) it was added to the list. I then unmounted the Samba volume and restarted rhythmbox and again it was fine. But, I then rebooted and when I restarted rhythmbox it hung/froze presumably trying to connect to the unmounted Samba volume referenced in playlist.xml or rhythmdb.xml.I remounted the Samba volume and restarted rhythmbox and again it found the appropriate playlist and was fine.
Hope this helps. Maybe this is not truly a bug but rather a function of rhythmbox interacting with Samba.
