Title:
  Monodevelop hangs on startup

Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  Confirmed
Status in “monodevelop” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: monodevelop

  This one is straightforward, if baffling: I installed Monodevelop from
  the repositories on Mint 7 (based on Ubuntu 9.04), and every time I
  try to launch it it just shows the first stage of the splash screen
  and hangs there.

  The only terminal output I get is "WARNING: Cannot find Mozilla
  directory containing libgtkembedmoz.so. Some Addins may not be able to
  function. Please set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to your Mozilla directory."
  This is the problem reported in Bug #212467,
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monodevelop/+bug/212467 .
  Following the instructions there seems to make that message go away,
  but then there's no terminal output at all; the thing just hangs same
  as usual.

  System Monitor shows two Monodevelop processes with different IDs. One
  rapidly consumes about half of the CPU and 1 GB or so of memory, but
  is listed as having a Waiting Channel of "0." The other uses about 500
  MB of memory and 0% CPU, and has a Waiting Channel of "do_wait." I
  think I saw it briefly where the two processes had the same ID and
  were each using about half the CPU, but that was only briefly, and it
  was back to normal the next time I looked at it.

  No idea what the problem is.
