Well, first of all make sure you have the latest ORBit out of CVS, since it
fixes some unrelated problems.

This sounds like you have a bad compiler or something. The window that pops
up momentarily is the dialog that tells the user when they try to play a
non-existent file, which you should be seeing the first time you try the play
button.

It works for me here just fine, so now you need to figure out what is
different in your environment from RHL 5.2 + egcs 1.1.2 :-)
