Start rhythmbox in gnome-terminal

Description of problem:
rhythmbox looks for an inexistant libcairo.so and is unable to activate certain plugin(s)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[naresh@section9 ~]$  rpm -qa rhythmbox
rhythmbox-2.90.1-5.git20110316.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:
everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run rhythmbox from console (to spot error messages)
  
Actual results:
errors and a pop-up that says "was unable to activate 'Cover Art'" plugin
(see 'rhythmbox-startup-libcairo.txt')

Expected results:
no errors.
(see 'rhythmbox-startup-post-symlinking-libcairo.txt')

Additional info:
Symlinking as follows:
[naresh@section9 ~]$ sudo ln -s  /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 /usr/lib/libcairo.so
[naresh@section9 ~]$ sudo ln -s  /usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2 /usr/lib64/libcairo.so

fixed the problem.

This should be fixed in the current gobject-introspection build
