vineyard-preferences won't start

[Róman Willems]

When I try to run vineyard-preferences the program keeps "sleeping" in the background and I have to kill it. It has been this way for several updates and doesn't go away after a reinstall of vineyard.

I get the following debug output:

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/vineyard/async.py", line 131, in _callback
    callback(*args)
  File "/usr/bin/vineyard-preferences", line 154, in __show_configurations
    self.__update_configurations()
  File "/usr/bin/vineyard-preferences", line 177, in __update_configurations
    for i in sorted(self.configurations, key=str.lower):
TypeError: descriptor 'lower' requires a 'str' object but received a 'NoneType'

I run a fully up-to-date Ubuntu 10.10 64bit system with Wine 1.3 from the Ubuntu Wine Team PPA.

I think it may be related to #718333 (or maybe even duplicate).

Thanks Róman the report and thanks Krzysztof for spotting the duplicate.
Don't worry, I'm still working on fixing this bug.
