I recently installed Linux Mint 10 and then added Banshee via synaptic
package manager.  The first time I ran banshee, I checked out what features
were available, then quit without incident.  When I returned to banshee
later, it quit immediately after opening without any prompting from me.
Running from the terminal gives the same behavior with the following output:

That doesn't sound good.

Yay!

Bummer :(

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling banshee several times with and
without deleting the .config/banshee-1 directory and all its contents with
no change in the behavior.  I checked the forums and saw no other references
to this problem so I'm guessing I missed something simple.  Anybody have any
ideas?

Some but since you were a good student and filed a bug:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638070

I'll keep those there :)
