You need to set a password in the gconf key /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/pythonconsole/rpdb2_password first.
Comment 2 Sven Arvidsson 2008-07-07 21:27:21 UTC 
I see, perhaps this could be documented in the HACKING document?
Comment 3 Jonathan Matthew 2008-07-16 10:31:33 UTC 
I've added an explanatory dialog box that pops up when you start the debugger.  It now uses a default password ("rhythmbox") if one isn't specified in gconf.  I thought about making it prompt for a password in that case, but I can't really be bothered for such a minor feature.
