5.3 -> 5.4 beta exception workaround

I upgraded to 5.4.3 beta from 5.3.16.0 and OD would throw an unhandled exception on the clients after they updated (something about not being able to find mysql host) when I logged in. There is no problem on the server.

I found a workaround for the clients:

1) Log in and hit 'Continue' when the exception is thrown
2) Under File > Choose Database, uncheck the 'Do not show this window on startup' check box
3) Quit and restart OD on the client. Go back to File > Choose Database and check the 'Do not show this window on startup' (if that is what you want) and now everything will work fine.
