f-spot 0.4.3.1 does not start under (X)ubuntu hardy

[Rainer M Krug <Rainer krugs de>]

Hi

I installed f-spot under XUbubtu hardy from the repository, but it does 
not start - no error message, nothing (starting from xterm) - it only 
shows an empty window, which I have to kill (see attachment) with xkill 
or CTRL-c in xterm.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I have the feeling that a dependency 
is not met or that there is somewhere a version conflict in some 
libraries, but I have no idea where.

Th directory is created:

rkrug ecolmod:~/.gnome2/f-spot$ ls -R
.:
addin-db-001  addins-setup.config  photos.db  repository-cache

./addin-db-001:
addin-data  addin-dir-data  fdb-lock  fdb-update-lock  host-index  hosts

./addin-db-001/addin-data:
