Bug#746609: possible patch

[D Haley]

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I was not able to exactly reproduce the problem 
that you describe. The startup tips show for myself, and then the 
program runs. This is true normally, in valgrind, and under gdb.

However, I was able to reproduce the same symptoms, but with the 
autosave dialog.

I have made a patch which fixes the die-on-autosave dialog problem for 
myself, and have similarly modified the startup tips as well. If you can 
confirm this fixes the startup problem for yourself (I've updated git 
[1]), then this would be great.

Unless the transition is imminent, I will wait until the next upload to 
close this.
