Does this happen if you run from the command line or just from the menu?
I think it's both, but I shall check.
I tried (unsuccessfully) to use the package manager in Linux Mint
10 (Julia) and hit problems that I couldn't get beyond. valac and
gstreamer deps IIRC. I tried using the repo on the shotwell
website but it installed 0.10 and I'm really keen on the
hierarchical tagging. I didn't pursue it because I've been meaning
to move to Linux Mint for Debian for some time and I have wiped my
PC and run LXDE. I compiled from the source tarball so I'm not
sure how to purge before starting over.
I've just been told the way to do this is to run make uninstall, then
log out and log back in. The settings should be gone.
Ah well, there's the rub. It took me ages to get it to compile (problems
with gstreamer deps mainly) and I can't for the life of me figure out
what loose wire I finally fiddled with that caused it to compile, and
I'm not keen on risking it! However, I'm currently installing it on my
netbook on a clean install of LXDE, so I shall pay more attention this time.
