Thanks for the reply, Mark. Perhaps I'm missing something, but when I
run '' I'm getting an error.

"Banshee provides a banshee shell script that is installed to
$(prefix)/bin. It sets a few environment variables, and runs the mono
runtime program. This can be done manually from the command line, and
the Mono --debug option can be added."

Does "This can be done manually" refer to setting the environment
variables? My output is pasted below; keep in mind all I did was open
a terminal and try to start Banshee.

$ mono --debug /usr/lib/banshee/banshee.exe

A similar thing happens if I try to run Banshee in gdb:

I'm probably just doing something dumb, but I'm clueless as to what it is.

Thanks,
