Comment 5 for bug 720654

Seeing this as well. Banshee, to my perception, just vanished. It wasn't on the dock, and no indication it could be found anywhere. However jumping through the 'start' menu buttons to reload banshee did restore the instance I'd been using before. Tried a few different combinations of ways of starting Banshee but been unable to duplicate Kevin's multiple instances.

For what it's worth I don't consider burying banshee under the volume icon on the status bar particularly intuitive. That's where you go to adjust the volume, not control a media player, same on most operating systems/environments. I don't mind the actual change as such, but if you intend media player controls to come under there it ought to have at least some kind of indicator that that is where it can be found. Not sure how exactly, maybe have the volume control icon transition to music notes symbol and back again with a delay.
