exception in viz about box

[[e-mail]]

Installed bzr-gtk 0.95.0 on Ubuntu Hardy from the developers PPA (https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive). From the command line running:

bzr viz

Then clicking the "help, about" menu resulting in the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/gtk/viz/branchwin.py", line 516, in _about_dialog_cb

    credits = pickle.load(file(data_path("credits.pickle")))

I get the same error with 0.95.0 on Windows.

I suspect it is an issue of these specific releases and might be fixed now: running "setup.py build" in the trunk correctly creates credits.pickle, and after that, the about box displays correctly.
