Banshee reportsa a BadMatch when application indicator is enabled

[Pete Goodall]

Binary package hint: banshee

While in Banshee I enabled the "Notification Area" plugin because I wasn't seeing the notification area icon at the top. Banshee immediately crashed and I am unable to start it again. I tried going into gconf-editor and unsetting the /apps/banshee-1/plugins/notification_area key, but I still cannot start Banshee. Output from the command line is below:

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 415 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Could you check the output of "apt-cache policy
banshee-extension-appindicator libappindicator0.0-cil" and "gacutil -l
| grep appindicator" please? I can't reproduce this bug, and it looks
more like a problem which happened during the installation of
libappindicator0.0-cil, or otherwise data corruption.

This is most probably a duplicate of bug #585160 and is due to the introduction of RGBA.

A workaround is found here

This seems to be solved now anyway. Thx for the response.
