Perhaps recent dropline releases moved it.

Some soundcards are able to play several sounds at the same time, but
most soundcard only accept one sound at a time and to be opened once.
The solution that KDE and GNOME found to the problem was to introduce a
sound daemon mixing the different sounds before sending them to the
soundcard. However, those sound daemons have proven to be unusable with
VOIP requiring real-time recording/playing.

So no, there is no solution to that problem currently.

When you run the gnome-control-center, it will trigger
gnome-settings-daemon and apply the font and the theme that were choosen
in the preferences. I wouldn't call that unstability. My GNOME at work
is running since 23 days without any problem :)
