Grip

[Ted Gervais]

Wondering something here.  I had Grip running just fine, from an ICON on
my desktop.  Now it won't come up.  I went over the properties selection
that was available even ticking 'run in terminal'  and still grip will
not come up.  I see it trying but it never surfaces.

However, I can bring up a terminal window and type grip in there, and it
instantly appears along side that window. And will work with whatever
audio I want to play.

My question is,  how do I get the ICON to work (again) on my desktop?

I don't know what happened to the original launcher, but just delete it 
and create a new one.

IIRC, Grip uses gstreamer for audio output.  From your description,
perhaps the problem is that Grip can't find the proper gstreamer plug-in
and not the launcher at all.  You might try running gst-register from a
terminal to see if it helps.

Well I ran gstreamer as you said and no change. Grip only comes up (now)
in a terminal screen after being typed there....

Whooops.  You are right. There was just something wrong with that
icon??  Made up a new one as you suggested and all is great.

Thanks again.  And that was a good tip..

If you have not already delete the old can you check the properties
and compare with the new icon.  (right mouse --> properties).  I
suspect that the path or the arg list was wrong.  It would be nice to
know what the root of the problem was so the maintainers can avoid
breaking things in the future.
