Application freezes on quit

[Andrew Williams]

Affects: 0.21pre

When quitting the application clears out the backend configuration before the updater thread has stopped, the thread continues processing update requests as it doesn't identify that "None" is a invalid connection state.

I have fixed this issue in the branch devel-logwindow

Fix merged to trunk.

I've never used LottaNZB to monitor a HellaNZB daemon running on another machine so I didn't/couldn't reproduce the bug. But if this one-line-fix is the solution for this issue...

I think this maybe a symptom of a much larger issue and further testing is required. I suspect that if the connection to the remote backend idles out (as some routers along your route may dictate a maximum connection time) then the state will be set to None, which in turn stops the client updating without any warning messages.

I'll continue investigating the issue and will post further bug reports if I discover the underlying cause, but for the moment this bug can be resolved off as it fixes the symptom causing the most issues.
