[apport] Emma crashed with AttributeError in on_host_popup()

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?

Ocurred when trying to add a new connection, upon fresh install.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
Release: 11.10
$ apt-cache policy emma

  Installed: 0.6-4

Steps to reproduce after installing emma and starting it up from the dash.
1. Right click on the (localhost) host.
2. Choose New connection
3. Close the New connection window.
Repeat until emma crashes. One or two times is sufficient.

Happens on a mostly up to date precise. When run in a terminal, this is printed when the crash happens:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/emma/emmalib/__init__.py", line 2292, in on_host_popup
    self.xml.get_widget("cw_%s" % n).set_text("")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_text'

Just doing the natural patch to check if get_widget() returned None is not sufficient. There is something deeper that causes the problem.

I tried to forward upstream, but upstream seems to have no bug tracker unfortunately. I have forwarded this to Debian, so marking as Triaged, importance Medium.
