OK, this does mean that it doesn't even try to shuffle (otherwise it would jump back to another song). I think this behavior is gconf-related then. Please try the following in the X-Terminal: Code: python2.5 -c "import gconf" and Code: python2.5 -c "import gnome.gconf" Does one of these succeed, or do they both report an error?
python2.5 -c "import gconf"
python2.5 -c "import gnome.gconf"
