When I am playing a song in bashee, if I use the stop media key on my laptop, then right click the notification area icon for banshee, I get the following error and banshee crashes. -- BEGIN CRASH -- An unhandled exception was thrown: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Banshee.NotificationArea.NotificationAreaService.OnNotificationAreaPopupMenuEvent (System.Object o, Gtk.PopupMenuArgs args) [0x00000] at Banshee.NotificationArea.X11NotificationAreaBox.OnPopupMenuEvent () [0x00000] at Banshee.NotificationArea.X11NotificationAreaBox.OnButtonPressEvent (System.Object o, Gtk.ButtonPressEventArgs args) [0x00000] at Gtk.Widget.ButtonPressEventSignalCallback (IntPtr arg0, IntPtr arg1, IntPtr gch) [0x00000] at (wrapper native-to-managed) Gtk.Widget:ButtonPressEventSignalCallback (intptr,intptr,intptr) at (wrapper managed-to-native) Gtk.Application:gtk_main () at Gtk.Application.Run () [0x00000] at Banshee.Gui.GtkBaseClient.Run () [0x00000] at Banshee.Gui.GtkBaseClient.Startup () [0x00000] at Hyena.Gui.CleanRoomStartup.Startup (Hyena.Gui.StartupInvocationHandler startup) [0x00000] .NET Version: 2.0.50727.42 OS Version: Unix 2.6.25.7 Assembly Version Information: System.Configuration (2.0.0.0) System.Web (2.0.0.0) taglib-sharp (2.0.3.0) Banshee.FileSystemQueue (1.2.1.17403) Mono.Media (1.2.1.17392) Banshee.PlayQueue (1.2.1.17406) Banshee.CoverArt (1.2.1.17402) Banshee.MultimediaKeys (1.2.1.17405) Lastfm (1.2.1.17393) Banshee.Lastfm (1.2.1.17404) Banshee.NotificationArea (1.2.1.17406) Banshee.Bookmarks (1.2.1.17401) Banshee.AudioCd (1.2.1.17401) pango-sharp (2.10.0.0) Mono.Cairo (2.0.0.0) Banshee.Widgets (1.2.1.17396) Banshee.Hal (1.2.1.17408) Banshee.Unix (1.2.1.17409) Banshee.GStreamer (1.2.1.17409) gconf-sharp (2.16.0.0) Banshee.Gnome (1.2.1.17408) Banshee.NowPlaying (1.2.1.17406) System.Transactions (2.0.0.0) System.Xml (2.0.0.0) System.Data (2.0.0.0) Mono.Data.SqliteClient (2.0.0.0) Mono.Addins (0.3.0.0) atk-sharp (2.10.0.0) Hyena.Gui (1.2.1.17391) Mono.Posix (2.0.0.0) NDesk.DBus.Proxies (0.0.0.0) NDesk.DBus.GLib (1.0.0.0) NDesk.DBus (1.0.0.0) gtk-sharp (2.10.0.0) Hyena (1.2.1.17389) System (2.0.0.0) glib-sharp (2.10.0.0) gdk-sharp (2.10.0.0) Banshee.Core (1.2.1.17394) Banshee.Services (1.2.1.17395) Banshee.ThickClient (1.2.1.17397) Nereid (1.2.1.17399) mscorlib (2.0.0.0) Platform Information: Linux 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 i686 GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Disribution Information: [/etc/gentoo-release] Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1 -- END CRASH -- This has happened on all three versions of banshee I have tried: 1.2.0, 1.2.1, and 1.2.1-r1.

A very similar issue has already been reported upstream : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=550777
Created attachment 164954 [details, diff] Upstream patch I recompiled banshee 1.2.1-r1 using the attached upstream patch and it solved my problem with no noticeable side effects. If you look at the upstream bug report, the patch appears to have solved the problem for one other person as well. I would like to recommend that this be included in portage for banshee 1.2.1-r2.
This bug has been marked fixed by upstream and they plan to include the patch in the next release.
