Settingsgui bug

I added your repository (it took four tries because it's very poorly documented that the file name in /etc/ipkg/ has to end in ".conf"!), ran ipkg update, and installed settingsgui. This didn't seem to create any way to RUN it from the screen (perhaps you have to reboot? I wasn't willing to do that, seemed too much like Microsoft. My old Zaurus was able to install apps without rebooting.)

So I ran it from a shell with DISPLAY set. It ran and was able to control the screen brightness. But when dealing with GSM, it said on the terminal: 

Executes subprocess [/usr/bin/libgsmd-tool -m shell]
libgsmd-tool: <# # Power-On>
libgsmd-tool: <# Register>
libgsmd-tool: <EVENT: Netreg searching for network >
Exception in thread Thread-3:

   location_area = line.split(" ")[7]
IndexError: list index out of range

I don't know why. I was able to manually (with atcmd mode) get my SIM to register, make calls (no audio), and send an SMS. FYI.
