#72 crash on startup with no modules installed
Possibly should be in the bugs section, but seems like
a feature too.
It seems that a few people that I talk to (including
myself when testing this) when running for the first
time the wizrd comes up and on page two (if no modules
are instlled) it shows (correctly) that there are no
modules installed. The wizard then allows the user to
continue on to the end. At which point if the user then
presses apply only to get a segfault when gnomesword
tries to startup.
The feature I am thinking about is on page 2 of the
wizard, inform the user that they have no modules
installed, explain how to get/install them then exit.
(or if you have included the mod. manager, display the
manager to dl and install some modules and continue on
with the conf. wizard)
Hope this helps,

Good idea, we will look into this. We should be adding a
module installer in a future version too.

OK I see this is raised as an RFE as well. The bug part is
the segfault.
We need to check if there are no modules installed at
startup and exit gracefully. The wizard / module installer
stuff is the RFE.

I get the same thing on Fedora Core 1, but it even crashes
WITH modules installed. Here is the crash info:
