Amarok crashes when using amarok wrapper, but amarokapp alone does not.

[Charles Jones]

If it were a missing library issue, the amarok front end would not even
start.  The problem I am experiencing is that when I use the front-end
wrapper "amarok", it loads, and runs for some time, but always locks up
after several minutes of use.  When I choose not to use the wrapper, and run
amarokapp directly, I can run it without any issues at all.

I will try the strace against the wrapper binary as you suggested, and let
you know if that yields any results.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Hopefully, I'll find something with it.  :-)
