[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 689505] Re: Banshe crashes on startup with 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'

[David Grossberg]

Yup, same issue, that environment variable works.  
And my conditions are exactly as described in the gnome bug: KDE4, x86_64, and moving Banshee.NotificationArea.* out of /usr/lib/banshee-1/Extensions is another workaround I had found but forgotten to update the bug (sorry!)

Is a backport of that patch likely in the near future? (it's not as
important since there are now workarounds - that don't need root even,
but it would be nice)

Title:
  Banshe crashes on startup with 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

When I try to start Banshee the window appears for a split second and then vanishes, leaving the following terminal output:

$ banshee --sync
[Info  21:03:40.546] Running Banshee 1.8.0: [Ubuntu 10.10 (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2010-11-26 14:10:54 UTC]
[Info  21:03:42.174] Updating web proxy from GConf
[Info  21:03:42.252] All services are started 1.336868
The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1578 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I tried using kdbg to get the backtrace mentioned and gave up due to complications with Mono.
