Re: [Banshee-List] Can't get Banshee's CollectionIndexer to work

[Bertrand Lorentz <bertrand lorentz gmail com>]

While looking at the demo client through the link posted by Olivier, I
suddenly had an idea :
The demo client is doing the following, which I think is necessary to
process the DBus traffic :
while (true) { DBus.Bus.Session.Iterate (); }

Your client doesn't have that.
It's not present in gnome-do or tangerine, because they're probably
using the GLib main loop integration of the DBus library. This
integration is done by something like a call to DBus.BusG.Init()

I hope this helps.
