Bug#602860: mixxx: segfault on startup with QT network socket error

[Jonathan E. Magen]

Package: mixxx
Version: 1.7.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Upon starting mixxx the program segfaults almost immediately with the following error:

Warning: [Main]: Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
Segmentation fault

I asked the devs about it in #mixxx on irc.freenode.net and they encouraged me to request an upgrade to a more recent version of mixxx. I am reporting this bug as I do not want Squeeze to ship with a broken version of this package. Can we get an upgraded version of mixxx into squeeze?
