new version of gigi (again: 0.83beta)

[Matthew Fletcher]

Running Lubuntu 12.10 here, and while it loads up, as soon as I click
"Yes" on the questions about downloading channels and categories, it
crashes.

Hopefully this is of help to you, and it can be made to work. Looks
like a great tool, and I'd love to get using it!

Terminal output below:
