here it is (i don't think it actually contains secret information, at
least as far as i'm concerned):

and second:
one time when i closed rhythmbox it had a bug-buddy-window popping up,
claiming some kind kind of crash happened. unfortunately i clicked it
away before realizing what it was and it wasn't reproduceable. so it may
be completely unrelated. on the other hand maybe gnome automatically
restarts crashed programs (i hope not, at least not without asking first)
