Which versions of Ubuntu and Banshee?

The keyboard shortcuts framework (word choice?) changed for GNOME
2.18, so a new method is necessary. I'm assuming you're seeing some
iteration of this. The package in Feisty has a patch to fix the issue
[1], or you could compile SVN, which has a fix that makes Banshee work
in 2.18 and 2.16 [2].

Ultimately, I'm assuming you're compiling for the Zen support, but it
really revolves around which version of Ubuntu and Banshee you're
compiling.
