Banshee UI ALWAYS freezes at start

[mmestre]

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Release: 15.10
Codename: wily

Linux kernel 4.2.0-35-generic

Banshee package: 2.9.0+really2.6.2-3ubuntu1

I was using banshee normally, but suddenly it doesn't startup ok anymore. Now, I cannot open banshee with my user data.
I tried opening it in a guest session and it seems to work perfectly.
I purged all the related packages and installed again and it still freezes at startup.

Odd. I can't see what's going on from the logs. Could you move ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db elsewhere and try again?

I've tried:
1 - Moving banshee.db.
2 - Running a vaccum to the file.
3 - Purging all the packages related to banshee and mono.

Without getting any change of the situation.
So, then, I've removed all the /apps/banshee-1 folder structure from gconf.
After that, I've run banshee again and it started. Then, I restored my old
banshee.db file and still worked. I setup my preferences and i'm using it
without problems.

Can I send you something useful to you? I have a backup of the gconf
folders, if you're still interesed in tracking down the problem...

The gconf folder in question sounds useful, yeah. Please attach that to the bug
report.

I attached, as requested, a backup of ~/.gconf/apps/banshee-1 folder.
