I get the same thing on my cut down ROX version of Ubuntu, I don't have
a full desktop install to try it on, but it looks like there are
several things wrong with 'listen' probably due to it only ever being
tested on full desktop installs. The line it fails on is because it
doesn't create a Bonobo client - which seems to be a document
communication system of some sort.

Are you dead set on using listen? There is another music player called
'aqualung' that I used for a while before moving to the MPD
client/server model. I don't use internet radio but it claims to
support it.

You can get ROX to use it with the following command:

aqualung -N 0 -L -E "$@"
