Rescan Music Library sometimes causes user interface to freeze

Created attachment 170185 [details] Rescan Music Library freezes the entire application When going to Tools > Rescan Music Library, the graphical user interface of Banshee will freeze and no longer respond to anything. Even the tray icon is unresponsive. This only happens sometimes, so it is not always reproducible. I attached a --debug log of when it does freeze when I try to rescan my library. I noticed that the progress meter will pop up in the bottom right corner, but as it begins to disappear, it freezes half-way. This is when the entire interface freezes with it. If it means anything, I notice the same behavior on openSUSE 11.3 64-bit and Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit.
Can you run `kill -s QUIT $(pidof banshee-1)` while Banshee is running and frozen? Then attach the log again.
This is probably the same as bug #630249

Just increasing the importance of this and target it for 1.8.
Created attachment 171135 [details] Two sets of stack traces, one while UI has hung, but song still playing, and after the song has stopped playing This happens when I double click on a particular song just after starting Banshee. This seems to reproduce the bug consistently.
Both of your logs show basically the same freeze/lock issue fixed in bug #630249 I believe. Please re-open if you still see this issue with git master. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 630249 ***
