Steps to reproduce:

  1. Boot into a recent Ubuntu, e.g. Ubuntu Utopic
  2. Configure Plover / StenoTray (used latest Git HEAD)
  3. Start up StenoTray

Expected behavior: it works
Actual behavior: I can observe StenoTray is receiving strokes, because the title bar changes as I stroke things into Plover. However, the area of the window which suggestions ought to be displayed in stays blank.

I've diagnosed the problem: actually, the problem is that I misconfigured StenoTray so it loaded no dictionaries. Running it with DEBUG = true elucidated the problem. It would be nice if there was more cues about this.
