Banshee starts, shows interface, then crashes 1-3 seconds afterwards.

[Autumn Halliwell]

I just attempted to start banshee after dist-upgrading. It crashes as soon as it starts without any information as to why or any error messages provided (it just dies). This happens every time I start the program.

This may be a duplicate of bug #1048341. Could you test the fix from the
libgconf2-4 package in
https://launchpad.net/~hyperair/+archive/test-11048341-fix please?

If that doesn't work, please follow the instructions from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1044842/comments/3 to get
a stack trace and debug log to attach to this bug.

Thank you! Installing your gconf package seems to have fixed all of the problems with Banshee. I'm very happy.
