Comment 2 for bug 441039

I starts fine now. First time and second time I started it it crashed.
I remember that I have also started the client itself, after the prefernces app crashed two times....

Possible solution:
start 'ubuntuone-client-applet' from a commandline and close it
start 'ubuntuone-client-preferences' from the system->preferences menu.

I suspect that the first command creates some configuration (file) so that the preferences command can save some preferences to that file....

Can someone confirm this?
