I want to jump to the conclusion that it is a permissions problem
because when I launch it from the command line as root it opens up
just fine.  However, when I launch it from the command line as user it
returns the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/BloGTK", line 1230, in ?
    blogtk = BloGTK()
  File "/usr/bin/BloGTK", line 133, in __init__
    self.grabConfig()
  File "/usr/bin/BloGTK", line 421, in grabConfig
    self.rpcServer = proxy.get_xmlrpc_server(self.url)
  File "/usr/lib/blogtk/proxy.py", line 66, in get_xmlrpc_server
    return server(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xmlrpclib.py", line 1290, in __init__
    raise IOError, "unsupported XML-RPC protocol"
IOError: unsupported XML-RPC protocol

Another conclusion I'm tempted to draw is that there is bad
configuration in the program "Accounts and Settings" and it requires
root in order to prompt for correction.  I'll try to clear up the
settings issues and retry.  Sound like a plan, or is there something
more obvious?
