Banshee

Hello.
I have a problem with mp3 player, Banshee. Here is log with an error:

I can run it as root by puting command in console. I though that user should be able to do everything with his own home directory.
Can somebody help me?

Re: Banshee

Nothing has changed... Maybe there is a possibility to do a shortcut to run Banshee with root privileges in it? Now, I have to run console, then type su, type password for root acount and then run Banshee by command.

Re: Banshee

I got this:
"[borys@bananan ~]$ groups
wheel games video audio optical floppy borys".

I type as root: "gpasswd -a borys users" but it hasn't done any changes in my privileges as normal user...

Re: Banshee

OK. It's solved. I needed to make me owner of /home/borys/.config/ and everything is fine. I can run Banshee as normal user.
Anyway big thanks for help Mr Green.
