I am running boxee on my Linux Mint install (Felicia). After getting the package installled I try to launch it and it just drops out. I am using an Nvidia 5200 which I saw was compatible. Can anyone help?
Here is the test output.

/opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop
28/02/09 12:45:12#DEBUG#bxbgprocess.cpp:142(Start)#bg process initialized. 1 worker threads created.
28/02/09 12:45:12#DEBUG#bxcurl.cpp:63(Initialize)#curl initialized. version <7.18.2>

I have tried a few other apps and I desperately want boxee to work!

Found it!

Make sure Compiz visual effects is disabled. You can do this by going to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects. Make sure "None" is selected.
