That's also a problem i had, so i went to a web page with a link that
pointed me to a bittorrent file and tried to click on it. I got the
"Open  with" dialog in Firefox and decided to open the file with
Bittornado. After hitting the OK button to get out of the dialog, the
bittornado client came up, but i couldn't access it and so on, because i
had to reach a dialog where it would ask me to save the session
somewhere, and that dialog couldn't be accessed. I couldn't reach the
dialog.

Yes, that's why i first ask if it's worth filing bugs on the mailing
list because if it turns out it was a mistake on my end, i'd feel very
embarrased and newbie like if i screamed about it on the bug tracking
system.:)
