[Bug 1311919] Re: [SRU] pressing F5 throws errors about windows.tmux missing

[Dustin Kirkland ]

** Description changed:

  On a fresh install of Byobu (5.77) from trusty, pressing F5 will throw
  errors until ~/.byobu/windows.tmux is created.
+ 
+ [Impact] 
+  * Byobu users of the byobu-tmux backend will sometimes press F5 to refresh their status, keybindings, or configurations.  Users of the default Byobu package in tmux will receive a very annoying error message about a missing windows.tmux file.
+ [Test Case]
+  * From a new or fresh Trusty installation (desktop or server), drop to a command line, and run 'byobu-tmux'.  Press F5.  You'll see an error message about windows.tmux missing.
+  * Upgrade to the package in trusty-proposed, launch a new byobu-tmux session, and press F5.  It should work just fine now.
+ [Regression Potential] 
+  * The fix is to simply create the file (like the rest of the byobu configuration files) at launch time at missing, using touch.  There is virtually zero regression potential.
+ [Other Info]
+  * None
