I submitted a bug for the xmms problem. Recently another person 
submitted a very similar bug. He traced it down to the arts patch for 
xmms. He left out the patch and it would work on creating an initial 
directory.

This bug is pretty old and I could see why closing in on it would be 
difficult.

Anyway, if you forcibly install arts from FC1 with --oldpackage --nodeps 
and try to launch xmms, it will create the default .xmms directory and 
not segfault. Once this directory is created, it is safe to upgrade to 
the latest version of arts. Xmms will work, unless you are a new user 
(not good)

Thanks to the other user that met the problem in a different way. I 
believe it is narrowed down to the new arts changes and will need 
changes to the patch for arts - xmms not to conflict.
