[Shotwell] Call for testing

[Martin Weißhaupt]

Hi Jim,

I think my problem is related to the UTF-8 problem. I have a tag (with 
an umlaut) twice and deleted the second entry. After this shotwell does 
start up but it immediately closes with the same error message.

After I deleted the event of the video, the video entry itself and the 
duplicated tags shotwell started as expected.

I think it's time for a backup ;-)

Thx,
Martin
