Description Niklas 2009-02-25 13:43:32 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Part from seemingly random crashes (f-spot turns grey and have to force quit) I'm unable to open the preferences dialogue.
F-spot simply quits when I try.

Tried remove, complete removal and then reinstall in synaptic.

That's where my linux skills end...
Much appreciate any help :)

Steps to reproduce:
1. open f-spot
2. edit->preferences
3. Crash


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes

you should reset f-spot preference keys in gconf... in particular the screensaver key, iirc
