[KVIrc] Crash on Fresh SVN r3424 on Mac OS 10.5.8

[Michael Secord]

Well, here's my cmake listing.  I'm not sure what the issue is.  It 
seems as if the default config files are bad for it.  I went back to 
r3384 which was the last working version I had.  When I try to start 
that with a fresh profile, I can get through the setup wizard and KVIrc 
launches, but I can't select anything in the server connections windows 
and I can't get the main window to popup no matter what...On top of 
that, after the first run, every time that KVIrc launches, it tells me 
the scripts are bad and it needs to revert back to defaults...even 
though I do, the issue persists.

If I put my old profile back and point KVIrc to it, both revisions 
launch without problems.  Stopping r3424 on startup kills it and it 
gives me an error report, with r3384 it just closes gracefully.

Hope that helps.

Here's my cmake:
