Installed via 1-click today. No problems with that. Would not startup. Opened in a terminal with debug and got this message:

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. —> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

I have the same with suse 11.0.
I google and found banshee - LinuxQuestions.org
I only tried “dbus-launch banshee-1” and my banshee works :slight_smile:
