Binary package hint: banshee
When I try to run Banshee on 11.04 Alpha, I see the main screen for a brief second, then it crashes. I ran it on the command line and got several warnings and then a "System.TypeLoadException" error.
Here is the command line output I got:

Have you tried to remove your .config/banshee-1 directory (or move in a terminal directory) and then start banshee again? I am not able to reproduce it here locally. Probably one of your plugins is causing banshee to crashed. Thanks
