latest version won't launch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  updated to the latest version in BS; wouldn't start.
2.  downloaded latest (read/write) version via SVN; won't run--getting spinning 
beachball over 
menulet.
3.  downloaded latest .dmg from here; same result as (1).
-------------------

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'm getting an uncaught exception.  Here is the console output:

BuckNut,

Thanks for the report!  I can't replicate the crash here, and I'm using the most
recent version (not surprisingly :).  Oh, wait, I just looked at the crash 
report a
little more closely.  Did you use the "restore defaults" button previously?  Try
trashing your prefs 
(~/Library/Preferences/com.fullyfunctional.blazingstars.plist)
and then restart BS.  I was having trouble with encoding the color well values 
into
the preferences, which I solved in the most recent versions (see issue 37 for 
more on
this), and this looks like the error I was getting before.

Let me know if that helps!

Yeah that fixed it..I've been reading the updates here and I remember seeing 
something about trashing the 
prefs file..just forgot I suppose..oops.

Here's something really strange though.  I'm now unable to open the 'Windows' 
Tab if I'm running BS via the 
.dmg.  BS doesn't crash, per se, but the prefs window freezes.  I can reopen 
the prefs window via the menulet 
and things seem to work fine, but every time I click the Windows tab it locks 
up on me.  It still quits just fine, 
and I can't seem to find anything strange in the console (this could easily be 
another issue but I thought I'd be 
efficient about things and keep it here :p ).

Strangely, though, if I'm running BS via XCode things work swimmingly :/  I'm 
guessing the .dmg just wasn't 
updated after you altered the 'Windows' tab code?

BuckNut,

Actually, the Windows Pref issue was solved after the .dmg version was 
released;  I
don't update the .dmg every time I fix an issue, just when I do an official 
release.
 That will be coming soon (hopefully tonight, 0.9.9b22), and then you can do an
update through BS to get the latest version which will hopefully iron all this 
out.

I assumed as much..no rush :)

Okay, 0.9.8b (22) is out and this issue should be resolved.
