This seems to be caused by NowPlaying using a generic dbus interface to
allow it to work with many different players, and Banshee does not
provide the filename to cover art over it whereas the other players do.

I worked around this by adding the ability for NowPlaying to guess the
filename of a cover based on the artist/album info that is provided by
Banshee.  It's a workaround, the real fix would be to modify Banshee to
provide the cover art filename as the other players do, but I've been
using this a few months for myself and it works well for me, so I
figured I'd post it somewhere for others to use if they like.

This patch is against the NowPlaying screenlet from the 0.1.2-3ubuntu2
package in Jaunty.
