So how to proceed in your case?

I recommend to de-install both, first smscon-editor then smscon via application manager. Then, when both apps are removed, enter xterm, become root and execute following commands:

Code:

rm -rf /opt/smscon
rm -rf /opt/smscon-editor
rm -rf /home/user/.smscon-editor

Then install smscon and then smscon-editor in this order via application manager from extras devel repository and start again!

This is rigorous but may bring you back on the the track!

Let me know your experience.
