Bug Description
Its a bad thing when someone whants to try mixxx and it crashes after start, without any message.
Mixxx should detect that and start in a failsafe mode which is more likly able to start.
This could be achieved to by writing a temp file on mixxx start and delete it on Mixxx shutdown.
If Mixxx finds this file when starting, the last run crashed and it should ask the user if he wants to try the failsafe mode.
Example:
See: Bug #1008999 Segfault on WinXP in Virtual Box using GL Waveforms Edit.
In this case fail save mode is starting with an empty waveform.
I would also like to add crash reporting to such a fail-safe system using something like google-breakpad.
