Yeah, I think that's right. It seems weird to have launching the volume
control modify the current volume. If we're worried that init.d isn't
doing this on some systems (I think most systems handle this correctly
these days, right?) a better place might be gnome-settings daemon, since
that would happen at login.

re: the comment that user's can have different preferred volumes... This
is a possibility, but they shouldn't have to launch the mixer to restore
their previous volume settings. That's a really silly way. If we need
that feature, it should be implemented at login not when you launch the
mixer.
