           Summary: [Regression] Banshee can't make a dbus connection to
                    helix
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: SLED 10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: remoting
        AssignedTo: lluis at novell.com

Description of Problem:
If you start banshee after upgrading mono to r88511, banshee will output a dbus
error and not be able to function (it still starts). I tested this on 1.2.5.1
(latest stable) and 1.2.2 and this did not happen on either version, so it is a
regression. I was able to reproduce this on a separate VM with r88511, so it
doesn't seem to be a configuration issue.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install SLED 10 SP1
2. Update Mono to r88511 from here:
http://build.mono.lab.novell.com/builds/HEAD/sles-9-i586/mono/88511/files/downloads/
3. Run all system updates
4. Reboot
5. Login as a non-root user
6. Start banshee from a terminal
7. Notice the error below in your terminal


Actual Results:
Warning: [10/31/2007 7:14:03 PM] (DBus is not available) - Your environment is
not properly set up to use DBus. Please fix your environment or run Banshee
through dbus-launch. Failure to do so may cause problems at a later time in
Banshee during this instance.
