Patch applied with no problems.  Calling balsa from command line with  
no options or parameters first gives a popup 'Couldn't open mailbox  
""', which I suppose is due to the "CurrentMailboxURL=".

Terminal shows:
  bw_notebook_switch_page_cb from  to file:///var/mail/jack
  balsa_window_real_close_mbnode from file:///var/mail/jack to NULL
  config_save saving CurrentMailboxURL = (null)
which shows opening the inbox and then it seems something is forgetting  
the current mailbox before saving it when I exit (either with File/Quit  
or just closing the window).
