hmm, banshee was developed in mono, which I don't have any experience with. 'banshee' is just a shell script that launches mono.
I've attached the output from running $ banshee --debug ** Attachment added: "Log produced by running $ banshee --debug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/836909/+attachment/2334076/+files/banshee_log.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to banshee in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/836909 Title: Banshee crashes while loading Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When starting Banshee in Kubuntu 11.04, it crashes (after loading for a seconds, but before any windows appear). Before this bug, I'd used Banshee without problems for several months. I didn't notice any specific conditions that started it. From the command line: $ banshee --sync [Info 11:33:03.153] Running Banshee 2.0.0: [Ubuntu 11.04 (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2011-06-28 05:39:10 UTC] The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 646 error_code 10 request_code 156 minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
