I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 beta from 10.10. While I'm very happy with the new Unity interface, two of my most used programs, Empathy and Banshee, broke in one way or another after the upgrade.
Empathy was crashing and/or the contact list window was disappearing as soon as it appeared. After fiddling around for a few hours, I was able to get Empathy to work by installing it from the PPA (as well as adding the gnome3 ppa to my repositories to fix some dependency issues with the PPA version of empathy).
While it now runs just fine without crashing, two features of Empathy are still broken:
-The PPA version of empathy seems to have ABSOLUTELY no theming; the beautiful ubuntu adium theme is now replaced with some default ugly theme for me. And for the life of me I can't seem to get it to see the ubuntu adium theme located in /usr/share/adium or wherever.
-The PPA version of empathy doesn't seem to work with the Ubuntu messaging menu (which might be problematic, since that's the only place where you can see that you got a message from someone that's not in your contact list?) >.>"
Banshee appeared to be fine initially (although I didn't launch it, it appeared on the Unity bar). However, at some point it disappeared from the Unity bar (drawing my attention to it), and launching it by clicking the Unity icon and typing its name didn't seem to do anything (although it did show up).
Running it in a terminal gave this output:

It seems to be a pretty straightforward issue to me- banshee can't find the dll library file libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0. However, a 'libgtk-x11' doesn't seem to exist in the default ubuntu repositories, which has me completely confused. I'm using banshee from the default repositories; shouldn't the default repository have all of these dependencies covered?
In my opinion, priority on this issue goes to banshee; Empathy is at least functional at this point for me. Thanks in advance to any help. ^.^
UPDATE 2: The theming issue is due to installing packages from the gnome3 repository. >.>" But if I un-install all the gnome3 repository packages and go back to the default, empathy will crash and stuff again. >.>" Any suggestions as far as what to do?
UPDATE 3: after a huge giant mess, I managed to fix everything. Not sure exactly how I fixed empathy in the end (although I need to mention that in the end I went back to the ubuntu repostiory empathy). Banshee has a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/717850) that will cause it not to run if libGL.so.1 and libGL.so.1.2 (leftover files from a fglrx installation???) are in /usr/lib. Removing them solves the problem.
