Using a one-liner to bring it back up isn't really a fix, though. Just relaunching it does the same thing (only much easier than launching xterm or having to install yet another tool to just let me bring it back to the foreground) since XMMS won't allow more than once instance anyway.

This thread is way too long to read the whole thing in decent time but it seems that it should have a few maemo specific patches made to make sure it behaves and have that sent back up to the XMMS folks for inclusion.

If I was a C/C++ coder, I'd help do it myself--but I'm just a network admin/UNIX admin/Subversion admin by career. I can at least understand the process of what we need to fix this properly. Is there anything I can do to help this along in my capacity?
