Mistelix crashes before it can complete its startup

[SpinnikerJim]

Hi
I am not sure if I am sending to the correct group. If not would you
please redirect me.

I was using Mistelix and found it very good, however, it now crashes
before the GUI display comes up.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10.

I have installed other software since it last ran correctly.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mistelix but with no change to its
behaviour.

If I use the GUI Applications/Sound and Video/Mistelix I see it appear
in the panel at the bottom of my screen then disappear again.

If I start it from the terminal I get the following:

jim@jim-desktop:~$
jim@jim-desktop:~$ export MISTELIX_DEBUG=true
jim@jim-desktop:~$ mistelix

Hello Jim,

This was fixed many months ago. Any version of gbrainy higher than 0.30
has it fixed. If you cannot update your version, let me know. There is a
work-around.

Regards,

Jordi,
