| Why do you need arts? The only thing it is useful is for trinity itself
| making sounds, and DE making sounds is one of the most idiotic ideas.
| Just go into trinity controls center and disable it (uncheck enable
| button in Sound System section)

good point and yes, i've now done that (though i'd still like to resolce 
the underlying issue, because broken stuff has a way of coming back to
