New Revision: 15133

Modified:
   zenmap/zenmapGUI/MainWindow.py

Log:
Handle any exception when updating the recent scans database upon
program exit. We got a crash report from someone whose disk filled up
while the database was being written to, and we don't need to crash for
that. We still write a message to the debug log.

Does the user get notified in any way?  It seems like it would be nice
to at least pop up a dialogue letting the user know that saving to the
DB failed.  I don't know if the DB gets corrupted, but even losing
their latest scan is probably important enough to notify them about.

Good idea, I added a warning dialog in r15633.
