Description:
The last couple of versions of mysql-query-browser have lost the ability to edit rows.  insert and update queries can be performed on the same tables with the same tool, but the "start editing" button is always greyed out.

How to repeat:
1.  Create a new table in mysql-query-browser

create table foo (foo char(10) primary key not null, bar int(8),pef text)

2.  read the contents of the table

select * from foo

3. Notice that you can't use the "start editing" button.
4. Try to insert a record:

insert into foo set foo="foo",bar=10,pef="this is some nice text";

5. Verify it was inserted:

select * from foo;

6. Notice that the "start editing" button still fails
7. perform an update query just to prove that it works:

update foo set foo="bar"

8. Verify that it was updated:

select * from foo;

9. notice that you still can't use the "start editing" button

Thank you for the bug report. I wasn't able to repeat the behavior reported
on FC 6.0 against a 5.0 server. Are you using our binaries downloaded from
our download page?. If no could you please try?. Thanks in advance.

Binary packages provided by MySQL do function properly.  The binary files distributed by Mandriva fail to function properly.
