Michael,
I'm assuming that once you exit MOL, all those actions start to happen
all at once?
I had similar problems. Upgrading the esound rpms fixed it. Apparently,
MOL is taking control (?) of esound, which those Gnome actions need in
order to work right if Gnome sound events are turned on. You can either
turn off Gnome sound events, or upgrade your esound package. I am using
esound-0.2.18-0_helix_1 now, and have no problems. The sound actions no
longer work while MOL is running, but at least I can still access all the
panels and drawers.
