Workaround: Create a folder ~/.config/banshee-1, or start Banshee from the Run dialog once. Subsequent attempts to start Banshee from the launcher will work. Ubuntu and Debian Banshee packages ship with a patch that fixes this issue. This issue is also fixed in trunk and 1.3.x. To the Fedora packager, it might be a good idea to ship with the attached patch, if it isn't already included in the Fedora's Banshee package. -- Chow Loong Jin
