[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.8 doesn't start

[Eric Gregory]

Hi Nelson,

I can answer the last part of your question.  If the bug reproduces every
time, just the photo would be fine, although console output and logs help as
well.

You can either attach the photo to the bug, or if you'd prefer to keep it
private, you can send it directly to me or Adam (i.e. don't CC the entire
list).  We delete private photos/videos when we're done fixing the bug.
