Kazam app can't start because has error when prepare config.

OS: Arch Linux

I think what reason of crash is new version Configparser.

I fixed this in the AUR package (by forcing the use of Python 3.4's ConfigParser, taken from rewinding Git to an old release), you should use that in the mean time. If #21 is ever upstreamed I'll rewind my hack since I maintain kazam on AUR now
