I'm unable to reproduce. Mine only opens the first time I start.  First
check to see if ~/.dc++/LinuxDC++.xml has write permissions. You may
also try to use a fresh profile and see if it still occurs (mv ~/.dc++
~/.dc++_backup). Also try seeing what the value of show-preferences-on-
startup value is the first time and subsequent times (grep show-
preferences-on-startup ~/.dc++/LinuxDC++.xml).

Bug description:
The first time the program is started, it should open the preferences dialog to indicate to the user that some information is required before using the program. This information should include nickname, encoding, and anything else I'm missing (suggestions?).

In addition, it should not allow the preferences dialog to be closed unless the aforementioned values are entered. As a special case, if the user selects UTF-8 as their encoding (directly or indirectly by "System default"), display a warning dialog with a don't show me again option indicating that UTF-8 doesn't work right for most NMDC hubs and recommending they choose a different encoding.
