Summary	0000221: gnome-pie segfaults after reporting missing menu icons after system upgrade.
Description	After performing a system upgrade, a functioning gnome-pie appeared not to run. Digging futher into this issue, I found that it was causing a segmentation fault after failing to load menu images: From the terminal output: williams@helix:~$ gnome-pie [MESSAGE] Welcome to Gnome-Pie 0.5.3! [MESSAGE] Loading Pies from "/home/williams/.config/gnome-pie/pies.conf". [WARNING] Trying to add pie "Digital Anti-Forensics": ID "9750" already exists! Using "9751" instead... [WARNING] Icon "gnome-session-halt" not found! Using default icon... [WARNING] Icon "stock_unknown" not found! Will be ugly... [MESSAGE] Error loading image file: Failed to open file '': No such file or directory [MESSAGE] Started happily... Segmentation fault williams@helix:~$ From dmesg: [12134.213337] gnome-pie[9474]: segfault at 28 ip 00007fe0f9ed97b6 sp 00007ffff39b9f50 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.400.2[7fe0f9e21000+47e000] [12165.216365] gnome-pie[9616]: segfault at 28 ip 00007f814cc8b7b6 sp 00007fff284832f0 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.400.2[7f814cbd3000+47e000] [12176.796070] gnome-pie[9674]: segfault at 28 ip 00007f49894987b6 sp 00007fff51a61150 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.400.2[7f49893e0000+47e000]
Steps To Reproduce	Utilize gnome-pie prior to version 0.5.3, upgrade the system and re-execute gnome-pie.
Additional Information	When it comes to 'Reproducibility' it should be noted that this crashed over and over until I provided the workaround listed on git-hub: https://github.com/Simmesimme/Gnome-Pie/issues/59 This did appear to resolve the issue for now, so I have not run into this again since then. In summary, removing the "gnome-pie.log" and "gnome-pie.stats" files from the users '.config' folder for gnome-pie appears to have resolved the issue for now: williams@helix:~$ gnome-pie [MESSAGE] Welcome to Gnome-Pie 0.5.3!
