Have to say that they seem fine for me - can you provide more details maybe? > So my question is why isn't there an option to get > a fully functioning banshee that works (not helix-banshee) like the > amarok version in packman?

The same issues that mean you need to use a third party build of AmaroK apply to Banshee. Now, what you can do, since you're using PackMan anyway is use their gstreamer010-* packages and the Banshee packages from the Build Service (either the Banshee project or GNOME:Community) and you should be good to go. > Third, beagle integration and SLAB are very bad.

See my following thoughts on the issue: http://rubberturnip.org.uk/index.cgi/2007/01/13 http://rubberturnip.org.uk/index.cgi/2007/02/20 The new version of slab, in Factory, seems to be less of a hog but it still doesn't have the Beagle integration of KickOff. > I'm just wondering where the love for GNOME is?
