Bug description:
Hi,

first of all, thks for this software. I'm just staring to use it but i'm quite enthusiastic !

I met a quite critical bug :
- I had a task A with a tag
- I wanted to add a subtask using the right-click button over the tree. 
- It added my new subtask, but below the tag in the text area of the task A
- Because I have my subtasks lists before the tag, i wanted to copy/paste this new subtask to put it over the tag
- This crashed GTG

Then I wanted to reproduced this bug but simply by doing copy/paste of subtasks that already exist, in the task editor
- I use my task A 
- Tried to change the order of the subtasks by copy/pasting the last one to the 1st place of subtasks
- Crashed GTG

Now I cannot restart GTG :
representante@Representante:~$ gtg

    parser.Parse("", True)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0

The problem is that it deleted the XML as its size is now at zero (in /home/user/.local/share/gtg)

To solve it i just renamed the last XML backup file (thanks to your frequent backup system !)
