Description of problem:
when starting up miro, the interface opens, it tries to load up the main start page, and then crashes without the page loading anything.  this behavior began after preforming my latest upgrade for fedora 13.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5

How reproducible:
this will happen with consistency, menu or cli.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  start miro from either the menu or the command line
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
when starting up miro, the interface opens, it tries to load up the main start page, and then crashes without the page loading anything.


Expected results:
i should get the start page which is a collection of featured and popular shows along with an initial check on all my subscriptions for new content.

Additional info:
contents of the miro.log after a seg fault are as follows:
