[Bug 1196828] [NEW] Cannot restart banshee after crash

[John Reid]

Public bug reported:

If banshee crashes the sound/audio system menu still shows it as
available but nothing happens if I click on it. With ps I can see a
defunct banshee process that cannot be removed. If I try to run banshee
from the command line nothing happens. Restarting gdm and/or unity also
has no effect. As far as I can tell there is now no way to start banshee
short of rebooting which is annoying. Does anyone know how I can start
banshee without closing everything down and rebooting? Perhaps there is
some part of Ubuntu that controls the sound menu and I can restart that?
I was hoping it was part of gdm or unity but restarting them didn't
help.

Description:	Ubuntu 13.04
Release:	13.04
but I have seen the same behaviour in 12.04
