Bug Description

I have ubuntu jaunty with current updates and installed imagewriter 0.1-1~ppa1

after unmounting the stick, there is a crash which cannot be reported because this is no supported package.

reinstalling the packages does no good. no errors reported, problem persist

can you start the app from a terminal with: sudo imagewriter
