Ron,
Thank you. Stopping the playing MP3 with a command line 'killall mpg123 '
works, but is not so easy for non-techies like the wife. She's into GUI.
I'm still looking for a way to find the GUI player, if there is one, and
killing that without resorting to command line. The MP3 was started from GUI
and there should be a way to stop or control it via GUI. This may be a bug
or oversight in the GNOME or Ximian desktop.
Is there anyone on this list using Red Hat GNOME or Ximian that knows how to
locate and control the MP3 player launched from gmc or nautilus via GUI?

I use `killall mpg123' Please understand:
I have a symbolic link for everything that I could possible
type backward, so anyway I do it, it works, so it could actually
be: `killall 123mpg'
