uninstalling colord as in #6 doesn't seem to work for me. I'm not entirely clear whether this is a new bug though.
I renamed .config/f-spot, and then ran f-spot and got the following. f-spot is able to get as far as putting the error in a dialog this time, though the text below is from the console.
