Thanks for the help. I considered this, but when I checked my list of
running daemons D-Bus was already running. Thanks to your suggestion, I
found out that there are actually two types of D-Bus daemons. One that runs
system-wide, and the other that runs for a user's session. I didn't have the
user session one running. Once I started that up, everything worked like a
charm. So, thank you very much!

For anybody that's curious, the below will automatically start a
user-session D-Bus daemon for you, instead of having to launch Banshee with
"dbus-launch banshee":

if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval "$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"
fi

Now if only I can figure out my icon problem!
