[Rhythmbox-devel] RB won't start!

Hi,

Just installed 0.9.5 on Gentoo. It won't start (no window appears, it
appears to be hung). stracing gives the following loop:

open("/dev/sr0", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE) = 27

.. etc. It just keeps repeating that pattern. Open /dev/sro, ioctl it,
close it, then poll a bunch of times and repeat.

I tried nuking my ~/.gconf/rhythmbox and ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox to no avail.

Any ideas? I have previously used rhythmbox 0.9.x versions on this
machine. I upgraded using emerge.

Thanks!
