I wonder if it could be related to this, I only just thought of this one...

Sometimes Restore DC Visuals doesn't work in the following way:

- After booting, I notice it did not restore the visuals. The screen is correctly on info:track, the menu has not appeared.

- I attempt to adjust the volume. Instead of the volume adjusting, the main menu appears and my knob-turns now scroll the menu.

- The menu does not appear UNTIL I have turned the volume knob. Then it appears instantly and goes to the item that I have scrolled to. I don't remember if I see the menu scrolling-animation or if it just blinks to that menu item.

Is it possible that this is a manifestation of the same problem, only less severe?
