For the other suggestions, creating a new /.dc++ directory does not fix
the issue and the grep command does not post anything as there is no
LinuxDC++.xml file.

I'm using the bzr branch version 1.0.3-bzr with core version 0.75.  I
pulled it from the ppa signed here <https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-

Status in Linux DC++: Confirmed

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.
