Must be something 'interesting' about my conf files.... This still fails for me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 206, in <lambda>
    action.connect("activate",		lambda w: self.prefs())

    raise ConfigError
ConfigError


I copied my 'old' conf files from a backup, reinstalled via 'rpm -Uvh
--force', rebooted, and started revelation.....

Something useful I can do? (or just blow the conf dir away?)
