Re: esd problems/questions

Easiest path to guaranteed sucess is to replace the esd binary with a script that
calls "esd --as 2"
eg:
	cd /usr/local/gnome/bin/
	mv esd esd.bin
	echo "#!/bin/sh" > esd
	echo "./esd --as 2" >> esd
	chmod a+x esd

Then just logout and log back in and everything should be good.  :)
