Hi Simon, I did a clean, default "Graphical Desktop" install of squeeze on i386 and then installed soundconverter, but wasn't able to reproduce this problem - the application starts without any issue.
t...@squeeze:~$ soundconverter SoundConverter 1.4.4 using Gstreamer version: 0.10.30, Python binding version: 0.10.19 using gio 'lame' element not found, disabling MP3. 'faac' element not found, disabling AAC. using 1 thread(s) Can you provide some addition information about your environment? Perhaps a different architecture or window manager? The exception message you encountered is displayed for the following try block. I'm wondering if perhaps one of those init() calls failed in your environment for some reason. try: import pygtk pygtk.require("2.0") import gtk import gtk.glade import gnome import gnome.ui gnome.ui.authentication_manager_init() import gconf import gobject gobject.threads_init() import gnomevfs Regards, tony
