Comment 2 for bug 1709316

We just released Moonshot UI 1.0.6 for Centos 6 on repository.project-moonshot.org. This addresses three issues that were found during testing for this issue:

1) The main UI window doesn't appear: The 1.0.5 RPM for the UI was built on moonbuildcentos.dev.ja.net, which is still running Centos 6.3. I built 1.0.6 on a VM running Centos 6.9; this version of the moonshot UI does not show the same issue. Please confirm (as I believe I've heard previously) that we do not need to support versions of Centos 6 older than 6.9, because if we do, we may need a lengthier build/test/release cycle.

2) I also found that on 6.9, the UI crashed when trying to add an ID. This was due to a compiler error in an old version of valac (0.10.4). I've modified the code in question to work around the issue.

3) The message "Error loading icon 'avatar-default': Icon 'avatar-default' not present in theme" happens when we try to load the person/avatar icon that's shown in each entry in the ID selector main window. We no longer attempt to load it on Centos 6. This should not result in any loss of functionality.

None of these issues would be expected to appear on other platforms (Centos 7 or Debian.)
