Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-kickstart

Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10

system-config-kickstart:
  Installed: 2.5.20-0ubuntu19
  Candidate: 2.5.20-0ubuntu19
  Version table:
*** 2.5.20-0ubuntu19 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Description: When running system-config-kickstart from the command line, you get the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/bfox/packages/system-config-kickstart/karmic-orig/system-config-kickstart-2.5.20/src/kickstartGui.py", line 188, in on_list_view_row_activated
category = self.category_store.get_value(iter, 0)
TypeError: iter must be a GtkTreeIter

This is due to the event handler for the category_store being hooked up before the self.toplevel.show() call. So, when the program launches, it triggers a call to the on_list_view_row_activated() function, which in turn calls a get_selection() on the GtkTreeView that has no selection made.

I'm attaching a patch that hooks up the event handlers after the call to self.toplevel.show()
