software-properties-gtk crashed with IOError in save()

[Christopher Denter]

I have severel machines here dedicated for gutsy testing.
After latest updates some applications seem to crash randomly after reboot. (e.g. serpentine, gnome-settings-daemon. I didn't even launch serpentine.)
This is an automatically generated bug report.
Thus I cannot provide further information.

regards
