Description of problem:
rssowl hangs after you close the main window. It looks like it is not managing
to save its prefs (they used to be in files called .rssowl/user.xml and
.rssowl/.user).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rssowl-1.2.3-3.fc7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove $HOME/.rssowl directory
2. Start rssowl
3. File->Quit
  
Actual results:
shell prompt does not reappear

Expected results:
shell prompt should reappear

Additional info:
I can't debug this with gdb. If I press CTRL+C in gdb when it hangs, I get an
unhelpful stacktrace:

Reading in symbols for pthread_mutex_unlock.c...done.

and gdb has an internal error if I then try to do "info threads".
