error at startup

Every time at startup BPBible throws this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is on Linux, python 2.6, r1312.

Do you know which version of SWORD you are using?  That error looks like it 
could be from using a version of SWORD earlier than 1.6, which we no longer 
support.

Note that the last comment you made suggests you were using r1288, and the 
support was removed in r1280 (so earlier).  Do you happen to know which 
dictionary it was trying to use?

I presume you don't have a dictionary installed - it looks like this would 
probably cause the problem.

Ben's right: the problem only occurs when there is no dictionary installed.

This is fixed in r1314.

OK you guys are the experts, and the problem indeed no longer occurs in r1314, 
but I do have a bunch of dictionaries installed, such as CBC, ISBE, King James 
Dictionary and others. 

PS: My Sword version is 1.6.1+dfsg-2+b1, so it shouldn't have caused any 
trouble.

My guess would be that it wasn't the main dictionary window but the daily 
devotional window, which only contains the dictionaries that are considered 
"Daily devotionals" (1 entry for every day of the year).
