A few problems with fedora core

[pritam ghanghas]

Hi

I am having a few problems with FC6

1. xmms ceases to produce audio after a few minutes when playing mp3
files. I dont know whether the problem is with xmms, alsa or xmms-mp3
I even tried renice to give xmms higher priority. Didnt work 
 Bugzilla Bug 196583: xmms stops during high system load and doesn't
resume
No solution till now

2. I installed nautilus-actions for
customizing the right click menu in nautilus. I ran
nautilus-actions-config --> click add and put in the following
information 
label: send as atttachment in mail
Path: /usr/bin/thunderbird
Parameters: -compose "attachment=%u"
and leave everything else default.
Now when I right click on any file and click send as attachment in mail,
I get a thunderbird compose windows with "attachment=file:///path to
filename" in to field. I dont know how to solve this. Seems to be a
problem with thunderbird itself as i get the same output when I do it in
shell (ie when I ran thunderbird -compose "attachement=file:///path to
filename". There site specifies the same sytax as is evident from the
following url
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html
I have tried this from the current stable version in redhat's repos to
the 2.0alpha available from mozilla. But no success.
If thunderbird is not already running this thing works
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77399
Bug 77399
Not resolved uptill now. May be redhat guys can out up some script with
nautilus in upcoming RHEL5 as this is a big enterprise functionality
issue.

3. New yum is not yet solid. it sometimes corrupts rpmdb. This one time
it picked up an old package of mikmod from core repo when the newer
version was available in updates and already installed. Obviously it
threw a 'file conflict' exception while doing transaction test. This one
is not a big issue for me just a passing thought. Infact I think the
dependency resolution capability has improved.

4. Any suggestions to decrease the memory requirement. It crawls on
256MB.
