[Bug 362482] [NEW] gtwitter crashes on startup: System.Threading.ThreadStateException

[Paul Broadhead]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gtwitter

Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10

gtwitter:
  Installed: 1.0~beta-6ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.0~beta-6ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0~beta-6ubuntu1 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expect gtwitter to start when launched, instead it crashes.  This bug is
100% reproducible.

When launched from a terminal I get the following output:

Unhandled Exception: System.Threading.ThreadStateException: Thread has already been started.
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Threading.Thread:Thread_internal (System.MulticastDelegate)
  at System.Threading.Thread.Start () [0x00000] 
  at gtwitter.MainWindow.ReadStoredData () [0x00000] 

I have check for existing processes and there are none.  I even logged
out and checked there were no user processes left at all.  I haven't
tried a reboot as that would be taking the compatibility with windows
.net too far!

If I login as another user, gtwitter starts as expected.  Therefore, I
suspect a corrupt user configuration but before I hunt for and delete
that configuration, I thought a bug report would be useful.  This
problem started when I was unable to connect to the twitter server, no
explanation was given but I had not changed my login details.
