Thanks to Qiao Huijie for pointing this out.
When switching between Kepler-1.0.0 and the Subversion development tree,
the ~/.kepler directory must be removed.
If it is not removed, then no actors are present in the actor browser pane.

I'm not sure why there is an incompatibility, but the code should detect
this incompatibility and prompt the user.

In addition, upon startup, the code should check to see if the actor browser
pane is empty and, if it is, prompt the user to delete their ~/.kepler 
directory

Also, the developer instructions should be updated to mention removing
the ~/.kepler directory.  I'll update the instructions.
