I've made it so if 2.3 fails due to missing modules, the MM GUI is attempted to
be launched. This works for the scenario where you start 2.3, then you start
2.2 from the 2.2 icon, and then start 2.3 from the 2.3 icon.  2.3 will launch
the MM GUI which now includes a message explaining why it may be there (failed
startup).
This scenario shouldn't even be common, as the current plan is to recommend to
users they uninstall older versions of kepler before installing 2.3, and from
2.3 it hopefully won't happen, as I've changed it so we no longer install each
new version into a separate version'd dir, but instead overwriting the old,
like how many other applications work.

Popping up a window display other startup errors will take more a fair bit more
work, and a new gui. If startup errors continue to be common, I'd say we should
pursue this after cleaning up our convoluted startup process. Retargeting to
2.4.0.
