Bug Description
When I try to start banshee from the sound menu nothing appears to happen and ps confirms no banshee processes start.
When I start it from a terminal all I get is:
~$ banshee

- only with sudo does the banshee user interface appear.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times but this appears to make no difference. How do I get the banshee UI to appear from the sound menu please without the need for a terminal or sudo?

Googling for "Unable to unregister DBus object Banshee. PlayQueue. PlayQueueSource , does not appear to be registered" I came across https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ banshee/ +bug/637347. However, running with --disable-dbus appeared to make no difference:
~$ banshee --disable-dbus
