Description:
When you access the feature to edit Startup Parameters it brings up the "Select File Section" dialog. When you try to press either OK or CANCEL (it does not matter which) the program terminates with a segmentation fault. 

How to repeat:
Here are the series of steps. 1. Run mysql-administrator. 2. Hold cntrl key and click SKIP button to bring up the program in service control mode. 3. Click on the "Startup Parameters" button. 4. When it brings up the "Select File Section" dialog, click on CANCEL or OK, it does not matter which.  Either option will result in a segmentation fault.  I know of no way to workaround this failure. 

Suggested fix:
Eliminate the segmentation fault.

Since this happens in the service control mode, and you are not connected to the database, I am not sure if the version of the database being used matters or not. In this case, I am using the 5.0.12 database and client. These are the versions installed from the SuSe 10.1 cdroms.  I downloaded the MySQL Administrator tool from the web site, version 1.1.10.
