Binary package hint: banshee
Ever since I tried adding a couple of internet radio stations, banshee doesn't start properly. It seems to launch, but the window is all messed up. It looks like the window starts, but it starts crashed - it's effectively invisible (can still see the desktop behind it). If I right click, I can get banshee menu options (as though the cursor is on some invisible part of the banshee window). I've tried restarting, reinstalling, deleting the banshee folder in ~/.config. I don't know what else to try!
The odd thing is I can still play songs etc. through banshee, via the widget attached to the volume icon. It's obviously related to the display of the banshee window...

Ok, I just managed to partially solve this by finding the keyboard shortcut for maximise window (alt+F10). While focussed on the "crashed" banshee, I maximise. It then appears as normal. When I unmaximise, however, the window vanishes again.
I'm guessing this isn't a banshee bug, but it's certainly a usability related problem that this can occur, so please don't just close it!
