This may sound like a stupid question, but was Banshee running?  Music
Applet doesn't (yet) have the ability to launch a music player if there
isn't already one running, and the behavior you describe is exactly what
happens if the applet can't find a music player running.

Other things to check for:

 * Was Music Applet compiled with D-Bus support?  The configure script
   will print a message at the end listing what players will be
   supported; if it flags Banshee as disabled, you'll need to install
   the -dev packages for D-Bus's GLib bindings first.

 * Is Banshee connecting to D-Bus?  Run it from a terminal window and
   see if it prints a message saying it can't connect to the bus.  Some
   recent versions of D-Bus have a bug in the C# bindings that can
   prevent it from connecting; see
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5716 .  (This bit me on
   more than one occasion during development.)
