Maverick / Banshee error

[TheBigAmbulance]

I've just installed Maverick 10.10 x64 on my system and I must say things are going pretty good. I added the repositories for kde 4.5.2 and everything seems to be ok.

One thing however is Banshee. It is giving me some form of X error:

dpich@DP5-MARK6:~$ banshee

The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

 (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.)

Re: Maverick / Banshee error

Time to scrub Banshee and Mono off your box and try Rhythmbox?

Good idea! Mono is just as bad as that Java junk.
