[Bug 1208129] Re: Compares NoneType() and str(), hence fails to make bootable usb

[bootchk]

I experienced this on 13.04.  I then downloaded the source package for
usb-creator_0.2.47.2 (in raring updates repository) and ran usbcreator-
gtk from inside Eclipse.  I could not reproduce the error in 3 attempts
with various iso images and physical drives.

So if you are a user reading this, it might not be fixed because it is
hard to reproduce.

I think in addition to printing the given error message, the app should
also print the python trace. That wouldn't be any uglier to users, and
might make it easier to track down the cause.
