Hi, going back over the messages in this thread, I see that you're
loading f-spot from /usr/local, not the one that came with
ubuntu-desktop. Did you, by any chance, install f-spot by yourself,
from sources or something, under dapper? Check your MONO_PATH
environmental variable and make sure it isn't trying to load an older,
local copy of Mono or F-spot. F-spot is now official in Edgy, in main,
and part of ubuntu-desktop.
