Bug#472624: fails to start: elisa silently dies

Package: elisa
Version: 0.3.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading to the latest version of elisa, the packages
seems to be unusable.

First after upgrade, I run elisa, got a splash screen, and then elisa
dies. From console I got some WARN's like, couldn't bind backend1,
couldn't bind frontend1.

Then I read in bugreport 471640 to do a dpkg-reconfigure elisa and
rm -rf ~/.elisa . I did this and now I can't get even error outputs
or log messages (tried also with command line options -l and -t).

With strace i get a lot of 'No such file or directory) errors.

strace output (not the full one), sorry for in-mail strace post.
