Come to think of it, the first time I started TS yesterday, creating
new minds did work. But then I got another error (which I don't
remember now, possibly the "home" bug), and I think it was after that
that creating new minds stopped working. So I thought maybe it was
something with "Saved preferences" or "Unsaved preferences", so I
deleted those, but I still get the same error when trying to create
new minds.
