Even after reinstall it didnt launch.
It fixed, however, after running gnome-do --debug

This is the message I get now when running it on the terminal:

Could not read MPD database file: ApplicationName='/usr/bin/mpc', CommandLine='playlist --format ":%title%:%artist%:%album%:%file%"', CurrentDirectory=''

Could not read MPD database file: ApplicationName='/usr/bin/mpc', CommandLine='playlist --format ":%title%:%artist%:%album%:%file%"', CurrentDirectory=''
Could not locate Tomboy on D-Bus. Perhaps it's not running?

And this is the message I got when I first run it with the debug option:

Distro bug filed against openSUSE 11.2 (which I run), fwiw: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547744

Running `gnome-do --debug` didn't fix it; the problem just goes away after the first crash. I modified /usr/bin/gnome-do to use `mono --debug` and got the following if it's helpful:

[Sandy Armstrong (sanfordarmstrong)]

This bug is not a crasher in trunk.

A patch to fix the crash in 0.8.2 is available here: https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=323557

Thanks to Robert Dyer for figuring this out.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Crashes in 0.8.2 but in trunk it was just resetting the default theme to something else.

Either way, fixed in trunk and backported to 0.8.2 by Sandy. Thanks Sandy! :-)
