"Add Path" fails with "AttributeError: startswith "

A rather simple error occurs when using the "Add Path" dialog box (File ->
Add Path). The add_path function (pathmanager.py:202) calls abspath() with
the selected directory, which is a PyQt4.QtCore.QString.

Calling str or unicode on the 'directory' variable resolves the issue.

That is a simple error indeed... unfortunately this kind of error is OS-dependent
with PyQt4: on Windows, types are sometimes converted (QString -> unicode) - on
Linux, they are never converted. I suppose you're on Linux.

Anyway, it will be really easy to fix in v1.0.0beta4.

Thanks for reporting this bug!
