Description:

after a relog of gnome of the known GNOME bug, that gdm randomly exits to login screen (further description found in gnome section of wiki
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Configure) rhythmbox keeps loading to RAM until its full, then probably flushing the swap and after it gdm is being restarted. I hope i get the programs right...
at least afterwards i am having a normal desktop again.

(apart from that im having some other issues which may or may not influence the procedure described:
-hard crash of whole system when downloading larger files from the iNet via WLAN, and in general WLAN randomly loading on startup, or not... (p54pci driver))
-some BIOS issues, SMIO adress issues or similar (newest possible BIOS loaded: 1.30 for ASRock 939 dual vsta)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Rhythmbox 0.12.6

* config and/or log files etc.
dmesg output

Sorry, but I can't make much out of your bugreport. First of all, you should not trigger the gdm/xorg crash bug, as that's a configuration error and is not supported. Your bugreport is a bit unclear about things here.

I have been playing rhythmbox for a couple of days now without quiting and it hasn't happened to me yet. I am also using gnome.
