  Thats good to hear as it addresses one of my previous messages. Since my
latest upgrade from CVS starting a session is extremely slow. Doing a
'tail -f' on my session log I can also see it testing (and failing) for
esound whenever I open any GNOME app. Disabling all sound in Control
Center has no effect on this.
  Hopefully something will be fixed soon (as it is pretty obnoxious :-) as
there is bound to be other users out there with soundless machines.
