banshee 1.8.0 crashes on start

The recent banshee upgrade causes banshee to crash upon start. According to this bug report a patch was committed but the Arch package still seems affected.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=620461

As suggested running it with this workaround it does not crash.

XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 banshee-1

~ $  banshee-1        
[Info  08:56:02.649] Running Banshee 1.8.0: [source-tarball (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2010-10-16 19:22:30 UTC]
[Warn  08:56:02.927] Cannot connect to NetworkManager or Wicd - An available, working network connection will be assumed
[Info  08:56:03.617] Updating web proxy from GConf
[Info  08:56:03.661] All services are started 0.891799
[Warn  08:56:03.786] Forcefully breaking out of RCS loop b/c change in total_width less than 1.0
The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 2017 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

Noticed that too. Thanks for the workaround!
