I'm having real trouble setting multiple library locations in Rhythmbox on Arch.  I had this working on Ubuntu with an older version of Rhythmbox by following the steps in the following webpage:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rhyth … irectoriesAs far as I can tell the use of gconf-editor has been depricated in the latest version of Rhythmbox as found on Arch, in favour of dconf-editor.

Hi, I have removed various rhythmbox directorys as superuser to make rhythmbox detect my artbox correctly, but what I have done is not fix the problem but spoil the menu bars of the interface (window menu, play/pause/forward/next controls)

I remember one of the directorys was /usr/share/rhythmbox

I have tried with apt-get remove --purge rhythmbox

But nothin

I have just upgraded to 12.04 and I'm not happy that the integrated music player is once again Rhythmbox.

Also, I would like to be rid of Rhythmbox as the default.

Previous I have never used rhythmbox by default because it seemed to be lacking in features to me. Just my personal opinion.

With rhythmbox back in 12.04 will ubuntu give it some attention to give it some usability one thing that was majorly missing on my last use of rhythmbox was an equalizer which is the most basic of requirements for an audio player let alone a preamp.

In a fresh Ubuntu installation, one thing I would like to do is to turn off the overlay scrollbars instead using the old scrolling bars. Overlay Scrollbars feature comes with Unity since Ubuntu 11.04. I found three ways to easily turn off the overlay scrollbars. All the ways need to log out and log back to take effect.
