This is a gnome-session issue. Temporary workaround (to start banshee): $ dbus-launch banshee or edit the way your session is being started, with startx (.xinitrc): eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
w00h00! that was the issue. It works fine now. Im not running gnome. Didnt realise banshee was a gnome-specific app. thanks for the help folks. -db
