Have you tried the GTK+2.x version of xmms?  I personally think the
newer xmms is really nice.  I liked the interface for rhythmbox, though
I have had too many issues with it as well.  There is about a 2-3 second
lag when it tries to switch songs in my playlist and the CPU spikes, I
guess this is really a problem of gstreamer and not rhythmbox.
