Title:
  banshee user interface won't appear in 11.10

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  New
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When I try to start banshee from the sound menu nothing appears to
  happen and ps confirms no banshee processes start.

  When I start it from a terminal all I get is:

  ~$ banshee

  - only with sudo does the banshee user interface appear.

  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times but this
  appears to make no difference.  How do I get the banshee UI to appear
  from the sound menu please without the need for a terminal or sudo?
