Hello,
when some semaphore or port is blocked the Deskbar tends to lock up very
easily. Just try to add a deliberately locking call such as acquire_sem in
the ControlLoop() of BMediaEventLooper and you will see the Deskbar lock up
with apparently no way to recover. I have some questions :

Can someone explain me why the Deskbar locks completely? Even when it happens
in another team.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's the volume control tray add-on trying
to poll the current volume level from the media server.

Regards,

Rene
