When I try to launch Boxee a black screen pops up, then I hear a system beep, then it logs me out and tries to auto-login after 30 seconds. Anyone know why this could be happening?

This worked for me...Compiz was the culprit.

BTW: is there a way that Boxee can turn the eye candy off when loading and then on again when closing? That would be cool.

Agreed. I was having the same failure to launch, and I am running compiz. Is there any other fix for this? I'm not going to disable compiz. It would be fine for a dedicated media box, but I'm running this on a desktop that switches back and forth, and compiz is a must have.

I would suggest getting the program fusion-icon (should be in the repositories). It allows you to toggle between metacity and compiz easily.
