This appears to be caused by an empty ~/.local/share/radiotray/config.xml file: deleting that file makes radiotray start again.

I figured out how you get an empty config.xml file. Just follow these steps:

1. login on your desktop
2. start radiotray
3. sudo shutdown -h now

Step 3 can probably be replaced with a kill -HUP or -TERM send to radiotray.
