Description:

I've just installed banshee, and I initially had a little bit of trouble getting the last.fm support to work. When I attempted to login, I got an error message about being unable to open the URL. I ran banshee again from the Terminal, and I noticed it was complaining about the lack of epiphany, a GNOME web browser. I don't run gnome (I use awesome) so I'm guessing that banshee looked for a "preffered" browser, couldn't find one, and defaulted to epiphany. This might be a bug in banshee, or it might be preferred behaviour. Anyway, I think the package ought to suggest this, as it's unreasonable under arch to assume the user is running the full GNOME suite.

Banshee version:
extra/banshee 1.8.0-1
I'm under x86_64, but I doubt very much this issue is architecture-dependant.

Steps to reproduce:
Install banshee without gnome
Launch banshee
Attempt to login to last.fm
Observe error message.

##Disclaimer: I've been using arch for about 3 days now. Apologies in advance for something obvious I've missed.
This task depends upon

You'll have to set your default browser using gnome-default-applications-properties from gnome-control-center instead for this.

Actually, once I installed epiphany, last.fm Just Worked. I've confirmed with pacman -Qs gnome that I don't have gnome-default-applications-properties or gnome-control-center installed, and I certainly haven't configured anything additionally. Scrobbling has been working perfectly, admittedly I haven't attempted to use any other last.fm features.
