Disable selinux.

SELinux Issues: When I compiled and ran the open source media player at XMMS, I got the following error: are compilation issues with contemporary distributions

/usr/local/lib/xmms/Input/libmpg123.so: cannot restore
segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

The problem is caused by SELinux restricting the loading of dynamic libraries by programs. (reference) (reference) It's easy to fix by changing the security context of the XMMS libraries:

chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/local/lib/xmms/*/*.so

The problem will also occur with Mozilla plugins and can be fixed with the same command

Alternatively, since this problem may appear for other packages, you can disable SELinux by changing a line in the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file to:

SELINUX=disabled

Code:
Couldn't Open Audio
Please check that
Your soundcard is configured correctly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard
It is most likely the second one. XMMS used to default to Arts and fedora uses alsa.

Go to the output plugins dialog - sorry, don't know where they keep it these days - and check.

Aside:
Seriously awesome wallpaper there dude!
Is it me or is your desktop just begging for conky?
