Something changes somewhere during Rhythmbox use. Everything was fine when I first installed Ubuntu. Everything was still fine after I started using Rhythmbox. Then one day I found that nautilus file manager no longer worked for me: Whenever I clicked <places> the dropdown opened up but no matter which option I selected, it always opened Rhythmbox.
In other programs, such as OpenOffice, If I clicked <file> <open>, the dropdown showed me various folders but, below the folders, all the filenames were greyed-out. I could select a folder, but no files. And when I got a folder to open, I couldn't select any of the files within that folder. All in all, a very strange bug.
I'm a newbie and don't know anything. All I could figure out was that the problem had something to do with Rhythmbox. So I uninstalled Rhythmbox, rebooted the machine, and everything worked fine again. Then I reinstalled Rhythmbox and the problem came back immediately. So I uninstalled Rhythmbox again, got the system working again, and tried installing some of the other players. Unfortunately, they all seem to have problems of their own.
Finally, I reinstalled Rhythmbox again and came to you guys for help -- which I promptly got. Thank you again for your time and trouble.
