"Goddamn bugs" -- Nick the Van Driver, Men in Black

So, I now know there are plenty of bugs to go around in the latest Thumbscrew beta I put out. I'll get to each and every one of them, but I was caught with my pants down. I had been testing with a fully fleshed out set of preferences and so didn't catch the problems that were occurring for the people who were starting up Thumbscrew for the first time (the spinning beach ball of death when trying to open the Preferences).

Well, that was a shallow bug, and fixed easily, but that uncovered others. Suffice it to say there's still a bit of work to be done before I send out 1.0b8, and it'll be a while since this isn't my day job. Amber promises I'll have plenty of time to work on it this weekend. I hope you can bear with me for a few more days...
