hangs at startup for larger scanning range

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. My university campus is behind the firewall and proxy. Hence we use local ip 
scheme.
2. To get more umber of lan users in the iptux, I set its scanning range to 
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
3. Hence everytime after starting, iptux starts scanning and hangs

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should show users list as it works with default installation.
It hangs everytime after starting and hence I cant even reset the ip scanning 
range.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I use iptux 0.5.1 on Ununtu 10.04 which is available in standard repository.

Please provide any additional information below.
May be it keeps on waiting for some reply packets which are blocked by routers.

as workaround you can edit the file ~/gconf/apps/iptux/%gconf.xml and delete 
your settings (you must remove the two LI tags (list items)

<entry name="scan_net_segment" mtime="1288619158" type="list" ltype="string">
  <li type="string">
    <stringvalue>10.0.0.0</stringvalue>
  </li>
  <li type="string">
    <stringvalue>10.255.255.255</stringvalue>
  </li>
</entry>
