The default path should be saved, I have noticed it but haven't 
implemented it yet.

There have been crashes with the bookshelf manager. As a quick fix I 
could disable concurrent installing. It would work just like before but 
only one module installation would be active at the same time. Now it 
can have three concurrent installations from one source.

Technical notes:
I can't say for sure that the problem is not in the code written by me, 
but I think it's in the Sword library or possibly in the ftp library 
used by the Sword library. Most probably it's the Sword library. It 
means that if we want to have concurrent installing we have to replace 
the Sword install manager. It would be much work and means duplicating 
the code, copying it from the Sword library to our own codebase. The 
case would be easier if the problem is in the ftp library because we 
could just use the QFtp class instead and in return would get finer 
control over the connection and failure situations.

Ok, I will disable concurrent installing. Please people, test it again 
and report if it work or not. If it still crashes the bug is much easier 
to find when I know it's my own code. And btw, start BibleTime with 
--debug switch and if you find a crash (anywhere), please attach the 
debug output and possibly the trace log from KDE crash handler.
