Patch fixing a crash if MainWindow is not yet set

When biew-6.1.0-r1 is started, if .biewrc does not exist, the setup dialog appears before the main window is shown. If you try to click a checkbox with the mouse, biew tries to dereference a null pointer (because the MainWindow variable is not yet set), and crashes.

Upstream bug report is at https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3404812&group_id=1475&atid=101475 ; unfortunately, upstream does not seem to be very active, so I’m also reporting the bug here.

Patch attached.
