Yeah, that's the interesting thing.  Adam is seeing this same problem,
but I'm not.  My machine is also a -CURRENT machine from two days ago,
with an Intel ich soundcard.  I did see this problem briefly on my GNOME
2.4 laptop, but after removing and re-adding the sound applet, it worked
again.  Adam didn't have any luck.  The only thing I can think of is for
an affected user to get a strace or truss of the applet starting up so
we can see what's failing.
