Bug#432820: xfce4-mcs-manager: settings always crash with ..

Package: xfce4-mcs-manager
Version: 4.3.99.2-1
Severity: important

I installed the xfce4, logged in, tried to open the settings, nothing
happened.

Then I started xfce-mcs-manager in a terminal and got this:

$ xfce-mcs-manager

(xfce-mcs-manager:22937): libxfce4util-WARNING **: Invalid
XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory `/home/tkeitel/.config', program may behave
incorrectly.

(xfce-mcs-manager:22937): libxfce4mcs-CRITICAL **:
mcs_manager_set_string: assertion `value != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault

The settings don't work, rendering xfce4 qite unusable for me.

This is the problem.

Try moving the .config file out of the way or if you have a .config
directory you don't have permission to write to then remove it or move
it out of the way.

If you then restart X things should be happier.
