Yes, and we should make BT usable with that. I instructed Gary quite 
strictly on that when he edited the config window, but I have failed to 
follow that myself with the bookself manager. My defense is that it 
hadn't been thought of at all when I did it.

One solution is to take away the warning text from the Install page and 
show the first-time warning before connecting. The warning is 
meaningless/unnecessary for most users. The SWORD library may already 
have code supporting a one-time or other warning.
