Then tell me, exactly what do you hope to achieve by opening Banshee in a terminal instead of using a graphical approach, e.g. the menu? FYI, all Glib applications spit information -- warnings, errors, other information out into the terminal regardless of any debug flag. I do not see this as a problem. Banshee does the same, just on a slightly larger scale. And the --debug flag exists to spit out even more information than is already spat out to the terminal. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin (GPG: 0x8F02A411) Ubuntu Developer
