Debian's official f-spot 0.4.3.1 package works for me on sid. Are you
changing anything about the build process when backporting to stable?
Can you reproduce the problems with the official GNOME f-spot package?

Are you using the versions of mono and so on from Debian etch?

F-spot 0.4.3.1 won't reach lenny for over two weeks - we've just
discovered that semweb in the f-spot tarball hasn't been updated to a
GPL-compatible license, so there'll need to be a new upload. Mirco Bauer
has packaged semweb separately, and we'll build both f-spot and beagle
against that.

You should probably run 'f-spot --debug' from the console and inspect
the output.
