I was basically agreeing with Rahul that rhythmbox probably did not require 
updatesd to be running, but instead something common between them had failed 
(causing both rhythmbox and updatesd to fail).  You're right that rhythmbox 
should not be aware of or depend on updatesd, but there could be something else; 
they both send messages with dbus I believe, and display messages in the panel, 
both attempt to make network connections, etc.
