    Cannot subscribe to rss feed, cannot launch anymore

    Hello @son-link, I am looking for a small Podcast player for use with helloSystem.

    When trying to subscribe to https://feeds.fireside.fm/bsdnow/rss, I get a crash:

    % /var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/minimal-podcasts-player

    zsh: abort   
    

    When I then try to run the application again, it does not even start anymore:

    % /var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/minimal-podcasts-player

      File "/var/run/user/1001/_home_user_Desktop_minimal-podcasts-player-master.zip/minimal-podcasts-player-master/mpp/__init__.py", line 324, in init
        if config['theme'] != 'system':
    KeyError: 'theme'
    

    At this point, I have to delete ~/.local/share/mpp/ to be able to launch the application again.

    Default to system theme

    Please default to system theme theme = system and make the "System" selectable in the configuration window.

    Most users want applications to look "native", and to follow the look and feel of the rest of the system (buttons, fonts, colors, etc.). In my example:

    fix for UI issues, issue #17

    These changes fix the two UI issues:

    • sysExit() is called when Disable confirm close dialogue is on.
    • While the podcasts are updated, the Update menu entry is disabled. This prevents multiple concurrent updates.
