Corrupted preferences file probably.

Quick fix is "rm -fr ~/.openshot" and run openshot again.

Bug description:
Hello, since yesterday when I started openshot under ubuntu 9.04 any more.
In the terminal I get this error:


Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.0.0)
--------------------------------
/usr/share/openshot/windows/SimpleGladeApp.py:340: GtkWarning: gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed

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

On the system, nothing has changed.
I installed the deb packages
I even uninstalled everything and reinstalled, no change.
