Ok, this is odd. It works fine here. Please, try running it from the command line. I don't have any problems with it. I do have zeitgeist installed. Do you? Anyway, please, disable the plugins and try again and let me know what happens.
I've got zeigeist installed (0.9.5-1.fc17.x86_64). I'm running it from command line - please take a look at my initial comment (the sign '➜' is zsh prompt). How to disable zeigeist plugin from command line? I cannot do it from synapse because after launching i see it on the screen for 1 or 2 seconds and it gets segmentation fault.
I am sorry wojtek.danilo; I can't reproduce...
Please, reopen if you figure out how to reproduce it successfully.
that is strange ... this is todays fresh fedora install. How can I help with searching for the reason of this bug?
I'm reproducing it everytime I want to start it. I was not able to simply make it running.

Try taking this into the forum or filing a bug, with reference to this one, in their launchpad. Since you have the problem, it is you who should do it in order to do the testing and provide the data to the developers. I am sorry not to be able to help you out more.
thank you :) bug submited: https://bugs.launchpad.net/synapse-project/+bug/1067916
