Don't! (apologize that is) Please keep pestering us,
at least this way we know someone is actually using
gIDE :)

I get those too.

Ouch. Yeah, that is to be expected (you don't have a
project and thus can't add sources to it) but it
shouldn't crash. The menu items should be disabled (is
in the TODO if I remember correctly).

Dave sent a mail a few days ago saying he was working
on that. The New Project wizard is not functional at
the moment.

Yeah, open an existing project (Project|Open Project)
and select a file (doesn't matter which one). It will
then parse the Makefile.am and related files and build
a project for you. You can then add files to the
project and build it and do other cool stuff :)
It has to be a auto* project though (try it with gIDE
for example).

That would be a problem with the components. Check out
the FAQ in the gIDE dir, it has some common causes
with solutions.
