One more observation. Today I forgot to mount my media drive before starting Banshee and trying to play from a playlist. When I clicked the play button, in the past it has just not worked, though sometimes Banshee made at least some sort of visual indication that I had clicked the button, but nothing more. Today something more happened, which is probably a bug. Today I was doing this on the second monitor of my two-display desktop, and when the play button failed to work, a terminal window that I had on that second monitor moved itself from the second monitor to the first. That is strange...

Well anyway, the workaround is just to manually mount the media drive before trying to play anything from Banshee. But I'll repeat that Banshee should probably mount the drive if it's not mounted, or at least give a meaningful error message instead of silently failing (with side effects).
