Banshee Crashes on Startup

[Vaxon]

I install Banshee 1.8 on Kubuntu 10.04 from a PPA
but it will not start up now
I've ran it from a terminal and this is the output

[Info  14:04:45.208] Running Banshee 1.8.0: [Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (linux-gnu, i486) @ 2010-09-30 23:38:39 UTC]

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 335 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.)
