gnome-volume-control broken?

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I just upgraded gnome from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1 on FreeBSD 7.1-ST. Now the 
volume control doesn't seem to work anymore although sound itself seems 
to work fine. When I start gnome-volume-control from the command line it 
says:

...
gnome-volume-control
** (gnome-volume-control:16516): DEBUG: Disabling debugging
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.

** (gnome-volume-control:16516): WARNING **: Connection failed
...

and a popup from Gnome saying that it's waiting for the sound system to 
respond.

I also tried to start the volume control as root. Then it said (about 50 
times):

...
** (gnome-control-center:19993): WARNING **: error accessing 
/apps/control-center/cc_actions_list [Failed to contact configuration 
server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking 
for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See 
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to 
get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes 
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus 
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the 
network connection was broken.)]
...

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

Marco
