Unpredictable behavior when BIT cannot write config file

[Germar]

Due to a file system problem unrelated to BIT - the program could not write its config files.

Once that happens unpredictable behavior is encountered (program freeze)

Since this happens easily due to .gvfs files - program support is required.

It is best to have the program check the validity of writing to the directories required, and then fail gracefully, as well as support return to default values in config files, and worker directories.

In my case I deleted everything, unlocked the .gvfs uninstalled, and started again. (not as easy as it sounds since I had to search for file locations as user, file locations as root, and solve the .gvfs lock)

I can not confirm this anymore in current release (1.0.26). So I assume this is fixed by now. If not please reopen.
