[Ubuntu] Critical problems with 1.7.2 from ubuntu binaries

[Hamish]

Hi,

fwiw after automatic upgrade to qgis 1.7.2 on an install based
on the osgeo LiveDVD 5.0 (natty) I was getting some segfaults
when launching the manageR plugin. removing ~/.qgis/ and
~/.config/QuantumGIS/ and restarting (twice!) it started working
again. I didn't have to uninstall anything, although in light
of this maybe I should. but now it works.

shrug,
Hamish
