Bug Description
I installed unity-lens photos for the first time. (I haven't really used shotwell, but didn't know if it might provide useful for images under ~/Pictures.) I opened the dash and switched to the lens. It appeared and stayed empty, with the busy icon spinning. I saw apport pop up, behind the dash, and I was able to close the dash.
My home dir has a .shotwell directory, but it's empty. I don't really know whether it's the lens or python-gi that should handle a file-not-found more gracefully.
Thanks.

The lens assumes that Shotwell has already created this file, it's a bug.
Workaround until the fix lands:
Open Shotwell once, it will generate the missing file.
