Comment 3 for bug 985082

Unmarking this as a duplicate since I've figured out what the issue was and the other bug is private.

I had restored my home directory from a backup, and the permissions on ~/.cache/rhythmbox/album-art were root:root 700. Changing the ownership to my user allowed rhythmbox to start.

Rhythmbox also crashes when the directory is unreadable for any other reason, though it will start fine if the directory doesn't exist.

So, the real bug is that rhythmbox assumes that if the directory exists, it can open it.
