Description of problem:  I installed and launched, Pirut ran automatically and
told me there were some hundred updates.  I closed the notification window while
I looked at new features and adjusted some preferences, then clicked on the
Pirut icon and asked it to show me a list of the updates.  It appeared to be
working (lots of network activity) but no UI appeared for several minutes, then
a crash dialog appeared.

After rebooting Pirut no longer runs automatically; when I tried to launch
either Pup or Pirut I got an 'Unable to run due to a configuration error'
message.  I got that two or three times (after more than one reboot) but after
the latest reboot it doesn't give me any dialog box or UI; it just hangs at the
command line after I enter the Root password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pirut-1.3.9-1.fc8.src.rpm

How reproducible:
I think I will have to re-install to try; please let me know if you want me to
do that.
