Banshee crashes a lot. GLib, GConf or D-Bus error?

[Ben Linsey-Bloom]

I don't know much about the internals of Banshee (or the system in general) so I don't know if this is a problem with Banshee or something 'upstream' like D-Bus.

The problem started since I installed Ubuntu 11.10. Ubuntu 11.04 was ok with Banshee 2.0 and 2.2 (from PPA).

I can't seem to recreate the banshee crashes reliably, it seems to just happen at random during library playback. Sometimes it goes a few hours without crashing, other times it seems to crash every few minutes.

The banshee window just turns grey and stops responding.

I've attached a .tar.gz file containing 2 Banshee debug logs and one screenshot of an error message that reports a similar problem but it's coming from a different program (mail-notification).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It's so unusable. How did this make it into final?

Hey Josh/coder543 do you mean to say that this bug affects you too?
Do you have the 'Library Watcher' extension enabled in Banshee?
