It just dies :(

It looks like a problem in D-BUS maybe? I'm using Dapper AMD64.

The error is

MtpDap made
MtpDap: initialize...
MtpDap: initialize...
Device: vendor=-1, prod=-1
Device id is null.  This can mean one of two things:
(1) Your device is not supported by this MTP driver.
(2) You improperly installed libgphoto2_port by enabling disk support,
which conflicts with this driver.
Contact the MTP developers for help.
24488: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect,
assertion "path != NULL" failed in file dbus-message.c line 793.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-BUS library.
libhal.c 1130 : Couldn't allocate D-BUS message

I could access the device with "gphoto2 -L", but only as root. Else it
complained about not being able to access the port. I've attached the
error output. However, gphoto works fine with my camera, without
needing to sudo.

The banshee crash happens as root too.

Anyhow, I'm busy ATM but I'll have a closer look at it (and be on IRC)
next week.
